Life & Work with Trent Hickman of Utah

Today we’d like to introduce you to Trent Hickman.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started Park City SUP in 2009 because I love surfing and fitness and standup paddle boarding is a combination of those passions. The company started with Standup Paddle Boarding and has expanded to offer OneWheel and Powsurf lessons and tours.

Powsurfing is amazing! it is riding boards similar to a snowboard but without bindings, just like a surfboard in the ocean.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey has been pretty smooth and it is helpful when you genuinely love what you are doing!

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I have raced and surfed SUPs in Utah California Hawaii Oregon Mexico and Costa Rica. I am an Utah Summer Games Gold Medalist. It is from this background of personal involvement in the sport that I bring my love of the sport to each of my lessons and tours.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I love the access to outdoor recreation of all types.
