SUP-FIT and our instructors acknowledge the First People, the Traditional Owners, and Custodians of our two bays and the Mornington Peninsula, The Boon Wurrung. Their culture, connection to land, and care for the shores on which we gather and the waters on which we paddle are many thousands of years old.

OUR TEAM

Stefan Soderberg – Owner/Director

Stefan’s obvious passion is to make outdoor activities accessible to all, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate, no matter their physical or societal disadvantages. With nearly a decade of experience, he has collaborated with over 100 schools and dozens of charities, offering young people and their families safe and exciting outdoor experiences.

“I have loved being able to provide new experiences for people since my very first session as an apprentice activity instructor. I hope we can reach as many of the local community and visitors as possible to continue sharing the connection with the outdoors and providing people of all backgrounds and ability levels the chance to experience something new and exciting.”

Mark Renouf – Owner (Retired)

After many years of primary school teaching and then 14 years as a school principal, Mark made the decision to continue his passion for providing people with learning opportunities to further develop their fitness, enjoyment for the outdoors, health and wellbeing by becoming a SUP Instructor

“Stand Up Paddleboarding has been a natural progression for me in my love of the ocean and water sports like surfing, kayaking, swimming, and sailing. SUP has given me a huge amount of pleasure and fun, increased my fitness and physical strength, and my whole sense of health and wellbeing. SUP has also provided me with an avenue to share my passion for water sports with my career as an educator”
