Elijah Schoenig (San Clemente, California) builds robots, plays the
guitar, surfs, is an excellent student, and (yes, did we mention?) stand
up paddles. He is a member of the prestigious Paddle Academy, which has
become one of the epicenters for developing young SUP, super talent.
Enrolled part-time at a traditional school and part-time online, Shoenig
has had the flexibility to explore many interests, including that of
the ocean. With a highly broad repertoire of skills and with his
increasing experience in the competitive space, the youngster has become
a stand out among the stand up paddle youth.
***************************
The
Supconnect Awards started in 2010 as a way of recognizing individuals
that made exceptional contributions to the sport. As such, it’s the
world’s first and original awards in the stand up paddle industry. Unlike
most awards, winners are not chosen strictly on athletic performance
and results. The ultimate objective of the Supconnect Awards is to help
to create positive icons for the youth in order to increase the
longevity of the sport for generations to come. And what’s more, it also
aims at recognizing exceptional brands, products, and shops that help
raise the bar in their field, serving as blueprints of excellence for
others to follow. In that light, do not expect the usual run-of-the-mill
winners. Nominees and winners, at least we hope, capture the
all-inclusive culture of the sport, with friendly smiles and
awe-inspiring stories and, yes, performances.
