I live in San Juan Puerto Rico. Other than surfing I like to always be in a adventure. I like to hang out with my friends and have a good time. I love playing golf with my dad and work out. Surfing has given me the oportunity to travel the world and become a better person.

It is my second time enjoying an ISA Event. I am an elementary school teacher who really enjoys her profession. Even so, my priority has always been my three kids no matter how old they get. I started doing SUP 13 years ago and prone paddleboarding one year ago. It has been an amazing journey learning new techniques as I grow in the sport. Throughout my training, I've gained strength and balance not only within the sport, but in life.

I started practicing this sport at 7 years old as therapy to help develop my left shoulder.  I had a brachial plexus injury at birth and as a consequence I have Erb’s Palsy.  The reduced function of my arm has never stopped me or defined me.  Since the day I started doing paddleboard I fell in love with this sport and the contact I could have with nature and the ocean.  I am extremely proud to represent my island of Puerto Rico for the first time in an ISA World Championship.

My name is Cristian Lopez and some day i would like to have my own SUP school for more people to get to know this wounderful sport. 

I started paddling at the age of 12 as a means of getting out of my old sedentary lifestyle. Eventually, I would start racing and enjoy it. As time passed I would slowly become more proficient in it until I finally reached this stage. I am proud to be able to represent my island on an international stage with some of the best.

I'm an athlete and chiropractor. I love the ocean, and to spend time in it. I'm happy  to be part of the Puerto Rico team in the ISA 2023. #machetemachete

My name is Nimsay García, I'm 21 years old. Im a full time college student and athlete. I'm a pioneer in what is female SUP surfing and what is professional SUP racing here in Puerto Rico and i intend to keep spreading awareness of our representation in this sport, spoken or in the water. I'm part of a surfing and Paddleboard school named Paddle Sur. Me and my family run it. I love speaking about my sport in different aspects of my life, represent it in my art, and educate different social groups about it. One of my biggest dreams for the SUP sport is for it to reach the Olympics and for it to be in college sports too, globally. 

Im proud of representing my home Puerto Rico and it is an incredible oportunity to compete at our island. I have been practicing the sport for 8 years now and my first ISA worlds were at Fiji 2016. I was also a participant in the Lima 2019 Panamerican Games

Been paddling since 2013, surfing since 2016 and foiling since 2019. Currently a Chemical Engineering undergrad student.
