Having struggled with transporting canoes and kayaks for years, Dave leapt at the chance to try inflatable paddle boards. He’s been teaching SUP and trip leading on the south coast of Britain for 12 years around Poole Harbour and the nearby coast and rivers. He wrote The Paddle Board Bible (Bloomsbury/Adlard Coles 2021), a guide to all aspects of SUP. With a main career in nature conservation, this is one of his greatest passions. While leading SUP nature tours he loves to increase people’s chances in the otter spotter lottery! He has worked on various SUP expeditions, including crossing Scotland on the Great Glen and adventures on Alpine lakes and rivers. One of his favourite aspects of group holidays is getting to know people from different backgrounds with a shared enjoyment of the outdoors.

Louise has always had a deep passion for travel and the outdoors, particularly for being in or near the water—her heart beats faster whenever she gets closer to the ocean. Her main enjoyments include hiking and paddleboarding, but she also loves swimming, running, aerial hoop, surfing, longboarding, and the occasional camping trip. She firmly believes in doing what makes one feel alive, and for her, spending time outdoors is essential for the soul. She finds great joy in hearing about other people’s passions. Whether sitting around a campfire, hiking, or paddleboarding with a group, she cherishes the moments when people open up about what excites them—these connections feel truly special. With experience teaching paddleboarding to beginners ranging from ages 8 to 80, she has also worked as an assistant guide for SUP Norway, which was her first introduction to SUP expeditions.
