Coach Cain Interview with Chris Murphy, on his way to 1000 consecutive days of paddling.
Chris Murphy is a SUP paddler from Chattanooga, Tennessee and owner of Chattanooga Paddleboards, the go-to paddleboard shop in the Chattanooga area. He also paddled all 365 days of the 2022 calendar year as part of his almost three-year goal of paddling on 1000 consecutive days.
Join Larry and meet Chris as he discusses how he got started paddling, how he came up with his goal, the highs and lows of paddling every single day, and the paddling community in Chattanooga. It's an inspiring interview as Chris doesn't just have his personal goals but is a driving force behind the growth of paddling of all types in Chattanooga.
