BIO

Ted Schatz is a self proclaimed Movement Geek. He holds a Masters Degree in Kinesiology along with more certifications and acronyms than can fit on this page;) He has been in the fitness/ movement industry for more than 16 years. He currently resides in Vancouver WA aka The Couve, where he teaches exercise science, health, and physical education at the local Community College.
Ted has been an avid board sports enthusiast for 30+ years of the 40 he has been on this great planet. In being honest, at first the surfer in him poo pooed the idea of stand up paddling. He had taken to competitive rowing and even gained some hardware at a few prestigious races. In 2014 he was re-introduced to the sport of stand up paddling. He then was forced to admit that he judged it wrong and that it is an amazing sport with an even more amazing community.
