Paddler. Coach. Mentor. Guide.

Hi, I’m Amber — founder of Champion Adventures and a lifelong paddler with a passion for helping others find confidence, skill, and joy on the water.

As a Paddle Canada Level 3 Sea Kayak Instructor Trainer and SUP Instructor Trainer, I bring over a decade of experience guiding, coaching, and mentoring paddlers across a wide range of environments — from the tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the rugged coastlines of British Columbia.

But my work is about more than technical skill. It’s about empowering people — to paddle with confidence, to lead with clarity, and to feel at home in dynamic conditions. Whether you're catching your first wave, preparing for instructor certification, or refining your technique in current and surf, my goal is to meet you where you’re at and support your growth with honesty, clarity, and care.

my Approach

Personal. Inclusive. Progress-Focused.

Champion Adventures was born from a desire to make paddlesports more accessible, encouraging, and empowering especially for those who haven’t always felt seen or supported in outdoor leadership spaces.

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

• Person-Centered Coaching: You bring the goals, I bring the guidance. Every session is tailored to your learning style, your experience, and your pace.

• High-Level Instruction: With certifications backed by real guiding experience, I focus on clear, practical skills that transfer to real conditions.

• Mentorship That Lasts: I don’t just teach I invest in your journey, offering feedback, support, and mentorship that extends beyond a single course.

• A Focus on Inclusion: As a woman-led business, Champion Adventures prioritizes representation, equity, and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome on the water.

Why I Coach

I love the technical side of paddling but what I really love is the transformation. Watching someone go from nervous to capable, from hesitant to confident, from student to instructor that’s why I do this work.

I believe that with the right mix of challenge, support, and connection, paddling becomes more than a skill. It becomes a way to lead, connect, and grow.

If you're ready to take the next step in your paddling journey whether it’s your first or your fiftieth I’d love to work with you.

Let’s paddle. Let’s grow. Let’s adventure.
