About the program
Our ambassadors are key players who connect the dots between our internal team and the wider paddlesports community.
This partnership opportunity paves the way for both sides to make a positive impact in our communities and beyond.
community first
who we are
At AQ Outdoors, our fundamental purpose is to build, grow and support the paddlesports community through the courses, education and products we offer.

who you are
Athlete ambassadors
Our athlete ambassadors are those leading the charge in paddlesports. Whether you’re a whitewater kayaker, sea kayaker, paddleboarder, or canoeist, your mission is to push the boundaries of your sport. With a strong presence at local competitions, you share your adventures on social media, and you're always exploring new tricks and/or skills, and venturing Canada’s incredible wild, outdoor spaces.
community ambassadors
Our community ambassadors are people-powered and community-first. You’re a paddler who loves connecting with other paddlers and growing the sport, and you’re willing to drive to paddlesport events in the summertime to rep AQ. You’re happy to put some time aside to connect with paddlers over email, social media and phone calls to discuss gear, boats and courses.
