Why did you get hooked on SUP, Sanne?

- I got hooked on an intro course, which I was spontaneously invited to! The same day I signed up as a member. The calmness on the water is essential for me in a busy life. 

How do you use SUP?

- I like to be on the water a couple of times a week!

It gives me a sense of calm. I can really feel the essence of Blue Mind Theory when I'm on the water. 

(The Blue Mind theory is the idea that being near water can bring the mind into a meditative state and have a positive impact on our mental and physical wellbeing. The theory became known after marine biologist Dr Wallace Nichols published his book Blue Mind in 2014, ed.) 

Who do you SUP with? 

- The SUP Polo team! And the members of the club. 

What is your best advice for new SUPers? 

- Just try it! It's so fun, relaxing and rewarding. 

How do you best relax after a SUP trip?

- I'm eating! Being on the water makes me so hungry! And if the hot tub is switched on, I jump in. 

What is your best experience as an instructor? 

- When new members who are a little sceptical about SUP Polo try it anyway, they just give it their all and fall in love with the exercise!

What is your favourite task at Surf Agency? 

- Sorting neoprene shoes in winter, haha. I like that our location looks nice and clean!

What do most people not know about you and surfing?

That I can't get up early (at all) except when it comes to SUP or SURF!
