My name is Noa Stender, and I am 18 years old. I am born and raised in Copenhagen where I started stand up paddling on flat water. In 2021 I moved to Klitmoller aka Cold Hawaii in the northern part of Denmark, to get closer to the ocean and the waves. I moved with my family, who also like spending time on the water. I am on a surf highschool, where we are surfing as much as possible after studying as a part of the school day. I have been SUP racing and competing for 5 years, and started competing in SUP surfing as well this year. When im not stand up paddling I love to go either longboard or shortboard surfing with my friends or little sister, Mille. Results: - Danish SUP U18 race champion (2019, 2020, 2021) - 2022 European Junior SUP surf champion - Danish technical race vice champion (2022)
