Picture postcard Pilates paddle

IT WAS all play and no work for Bondi Rescue’s Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll as he enjoyed a paddle along the picturesque Noosa River on Saturday 23 April.
Anthony’s wife Emily and local surfer Nic Jones joined the well-known lifeguard as local business Luxe Fitness Escapes hosted the trio for a morning of relaxation.
Luxe Fitness Escapes founder Kelly Carthy said the famous trio enjoyed their morning checking out Noosa’s great scenery while relaxing on stand up paddleboards.
“As I am from Bondi and Harries (Anthony) was up for the Aussies over the last week with his family I invited him and his wife along with pro surfer Nic Jones out for our Signature Luxe Stand Up Paddle Active Experience,” Kelly said.
“Harries has recently completed his Pilates instructor’s course and was really interested to see how he could incorporate this new passion for Pilates back into the water where he spends a lot of his time in Bondi.
“He was blown away with how beautiful our waterways are and enjoyed the challenge of the Pilates session on Paddleboard as well as the ability to have some time out meditating on a board amongst the mangroves.”
