Morene is the heartbeat of the Amsterdam SUP scene. She runs a SUP school (rentals, lessons, yoga and tours) that introduces locals to the water they live on and around. If you've never been to Amsterdam, put it on your list and be sure to put a paddle through the canals on it with Morene too! It's amazing and we had the opportunity to have 75 other paddlers join us for a charity paddle thanks to Morene and SUP Amsterdam!

She also has her own brand of SUPs and paddles called IMUA. Susanne has been supporting our efforts with Live Love SUP and spreading the word from the beginning when we met in 2011 in Switzerland. We're so glad that she is part of this Live Love SUP family and excited to see what's in store for the future as she continues here love of sharing the ocean with others.

Tiago joins the Live Love SUP family from beautiful Portugal. You can't find a better SUP destination then Tiago's backyard. As a passionate waterman, Tiago has embraced all areas of SUP and opened his new Mauka Lodge - Paddle Retreat in 2016. We had the privilege to experience the early days of Mauka and Ericeira in 2014 and can't wait to return - it's magical! Tiago definitely lives the SUP lifestyle as he teaches and coaches SUP paddling, race training and surfing. He is the founder of Functional Paddling and has been busy training SUP athletes from elite level pros such as Connor Baxter and Sean Poynter to your weekend warrior wanting to improve SUP technique, race performance and overall knowledge of the sport from an exercise physiology master.

Samo is SUP Slovenia . If you haven't checked out photos of him or anyone else (i.e. Naish Rider, Manca Notar) this is such an amazing place to paddle (Click here for amazing pics of Slovenia). We're loved our SUP adventures in Slovenia and can't wait to spend more time in this amazing SUP destination. Samo has been spreading the stoke throughout his country for many years now and after watching his passion grow we can't wait to team up more and further the sport in the region. He organizes races and events for the community, provide SUP tours across Slovenia and surrounding countries such as Greece and in general just the like the rest of us can't get enough of the sport.

 

Our first southern hemisphere representative and what an awesome addition to the brand ambassador ranks. Andrew owns  KiamaSUP, a School on the New South Wales south coast and introduces and teaches paddlers to flat water paddling and SUP Surfing. He loves SUP and his pictures of his local paddling spots are to die for. He's always out and about in his local paddling community but be warned! He is constantly putting out amazing SUP videos and filling his instagram feed with amazing SUP shots of the south coast in NSW. Just a warning...you'll be jealous!
