VIBS 2018 Feature Presentation – Brenda Lowe: Cast Away, Actress, Adventurist

Brenda Low 1

 

Jan 11, 2018

Ever wonder what it’s like to be abandoned on a remote island in the middle of nowhere… with nothing… with people you don’t know… Or filming a movie with two of Hollywood’s biggest names… or even having the opportunity to paddle your way around amazing locations across the globe?

Brenda Lowe has done all of the above! So, when you’re at the show, take your opportunity to talk with her and learn about her experiences as a paddle sports enthusiast, being part of the Baywatch move, and being a castaway on Survivor… twice!

Brenda started paddle boarding back in 2009 when she was first introduced to the sport, and founded Paddleboard Miami in order to connect others who were just as enthusiastic about the sport as she was. This group later turned into one of the first stand-up paddleboard rental delivery services in Miami when the sport was just in its infancy in South Florida.

Brenda’ reality television career started in 2010 when she was chosen to be a contestant on Survivor: Nicaragua, which was an “unbelievable experience”. During the season she maintained tight alliances, smart social gameplay and physical competence but was eventually targeted for being perceived as having too much power.
Three years later, Brenda returned to the famed reality TV Show for Survivor: Caramoan – Fan Vs. Favorites, where she placed higher than her first time playing (and being runner-up for the ‘Sprint Player of the Season’ award.)

 

Through her acting career, she has appeared in many national commercials and even landed a small role in Baywatch: The Movie.

Brenda Low 3In her downtime when not working as a model or being a great mother, Brenda is an avid paddle sports enthusiast who shares her love of the water through her social media outlets.

Meet Brenda Lowe at the Baywatch feature adjacent to the seminar rooms on the main floor of BC Place.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
