Cheers to Kimberly Prescott, a true island local at heart, living the coastal dream in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, tucked along the stunning shores of South West Florida. Surrounded by turquoise waters, sugar white sand, and glowing Gulf Coast sunsets, Kimberly has embraced a lifestyle that revolves around the ocean and the calm, restorative rhythm of island life.
After trading the fast pace, towering buildings, and constant buzz of New York City for Florida’s sunshine and sea breeze, Kimberly discovered something that would quickly become a passion, SUP. What began as a way to explore the water soon turned into a daily ritual and a source of joy, balance, and connection with nature. Gliding across the calm coastal waters, paddle in hand, she finds both adventure and peace, whether cruising along the shoreline, spotting marine life beneath her board, or soaking in the stillness of an early morning session.
Living on Anna Maria Island allows Kimberly to fully immerse herself in the SUP lifestyle. The gentle Gulf waters, winding mangrove tunnels, and endless blue skies provide the perfect backdrop for paddleboarding year round. For her, SUP isn’t just a sport, it’s a way to slow down, stay active, and feel deeply connected to her surroundings.
She also draws inspiration from the broader paddleboarding and surf community. Prescott shares, “I love reading Session Magazine for inspiration, turning to its stories, photography, and features to fuel my passion for life on the water and the culture that surrounds it."
From city streets to saltwater serenity, Kimberly Prescott’s story is a celebration of following the sun, embracing the water, and finding joy in the simple act of paddling forward, one smooth stroke at a time.
