My name is Jordan, and I’m the founder of Aok Water Sports, a company dedicated to providing fun, accessible aquatic recreation while promoting clean water initiatives. As an avid water sports enthusiast with experience in kitesurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, I understand firsthand how important water quality is for safety and enjoyment on the waves and rivers.
I grew up near the ocean, where I spent weekends and summers surfing with friends. As we explored different beaches, we learned that polluted waters made recreation impossible because of the health hazards and foul smells. I also witnessed the decline in tourism when contamination closed famous swimming holes.
These early experiences opened my eyes to the direct impact water pollution has on the accessibility of watersports. They inspired me to launch Aok as a business centered on gear sales and rentals and education on protecting waterways. I partner with local environmental groups to organize beach and river cleanups. I also use my platform to advocate for larger-scale solutions, from wetland conservation to stormwater management. I believe in the importance of water and wastewater treatment to enable the passion for sport lovers, without clean water, we can’t enjoy the sport
At Aok, we believe time spent gliding across glassy seas or paddling down pristine rivers should be available to everyone. We hope to keep our shared aquatic playgrounds clean and safe for generations by equipping customers with eco-conscious gear and knowledge to be responsible stewards. Join me in loving both water sports and the water itself!
