In 2008 Stuart Murray founded Suplove, based on the vision and values respect for the community and environment and the joy of sharing the ocean. The same year he started the first Sup schools in Sydney, pioneered the sport in Australia completing the 111km Hawkesbury Classic and made the final of the Dukes Oceanfest at Waikiki, Hawaii finishing third. He has gone on to win many more SUP events including the Australian & New Zealand National Titles 9 times and NSW State Titles 12 times.

Not one to stop Stuart has launched SupExplore where he lays his soul bare.  Stuart created ACP, Adventure concept Paddles, a character driven story mixing natural wonder, risk, adventure, tradition, culture, history which are videoed and aims to help or SupAssist a charity. Paddling comes along for the ride. SupExplore is about daring to believe. It’s about one day getting that feeling I am going to paddle around the next corner and I know I can do it and come back safely. His passion and experience in SUP is helping Zhik take the sport to the next level.
