Candice Appleby won the SupConnect 2012 SUP Woman of the Year Elite Division.

SAN DIEGO, California - This year, the competition for the SUP Woman of the Year was conducted in two separate phases.··The first was an open nomination process where anyone could be nominated to become the next SUP woman of the year. The second phase involved a month of voting on pre-seeded athletes along with the top nominees from the first phase. In the end the results were so incredible and exciting that there are two categories of women who will be honored this year.

#1 Candice Appleby - Candice Appleby is a professional ocean athlete from San Clemente, California. She has been deemed by many as the "Queen of SUP", has had stellar performances for years and is arguably the most winning stand up paddler of all time. This year she has won many races such as the Gorge Challenge, and the River Rocks SUP race. She was second at the Battle of the Paddle yet has won more Battle of the Paddle races than any other man or woman. Candice has also been highly involved in spreading the SUP stoke to the youth in our sport and has really gone out of her way to help teach the groms to paddle well, but most importantly to love the sport. There is no doubt that her ambassadorship, involvement, performance and support in stand up paddle make her the 2012 SupConnect Elite Woman of the Year.
