A-Team Paddleboarding is the place you come to do everything SUP
Amy and Andrew both grew up on the East Coast.

Both have naturally gravitated to the beach and ocean their entire lives. Amy always felt the most comfortable outdoors soaking up the summer sun, being active, and enjoying the sand and water. Andrew, a former lifeguard, spent his summer days protecting people while keeping up on his health and fitness at the ocean's edge. Amy and Andrew met each other in the gym, where they continue to share their love of being healthy and fit.

They quickly found that stand up paddleboarding was an activity that brought them together to have fun and keep them active on the water. From the peace they get on an early morning or a late afternoon sunset paddle to the thrill that comes from racing competitions, Amy and Andrew have yet to find a more challenging exercise or a more enjoyable hobby. Andrew, who grew up rowing and surfing, quickly switched over to SUP surfing and hasn’t put his paddle down since. Whether it’s rain, snow, or shine, Andrew will be out on the water training, playing, and simply loving life on his paddleboard. He races in the elite circuit and has quickly drawn sponsors, like CLIF, NSP/ SURFTECH, Quickblade, FCS SUP, Onit Pro, Cobian Sandles & Body Glove.

Amy and Andrew got married and moved to Rockaway, NY, to embrace all that this amazing beach town has to offer. SUPing has been such an influential part of their lives that they wanted to be able to share this love with others. They decided to open up a SUP shop to help build back this community, which was hit so hard during Sandy, and also provide a safe environment for people to get out on the water. Safety is this team’s number-one goal, so they make sure to keep up-to-date with their CPR certifications and World Paddle Association (WPA) certifications.
