ABOUT EMMA B.

You might know me as the surfski queen of Denmark?

I am pretty much just a flatwater paddler who fell in love with the ocean and downwind in 2015. Now I travel the world and compete at Worlds, World Cups, and Europeans, develop my skills.

Since 2022 family has become much more important, still I do my best promoting this amazing sport in Denmark.
