I'm thrilled to welcome Jayne Rigby of the Liverpool SUP Co. I met Jayne on Instagram and in 2019 had a coaching session on the Albert Docks in Liverpool with her. Her love for coaching and helping clients improve their understand of SUP, their technical ability and enjoyment shines through. With a background in marine conservation, Jayne is also very active in protecting the environment. Jayne also has a special member of her team, her Staffy Oscar, so we will be SUP-ing with a Pup!
