Angie Koops

Personal Trainer and Surfer

AUSTRALIA - Born in Kaikoura, New Zealand, Angie has enjoyed surfing from a young age, as well as gymnastics and snow boarding. At age 20, Angie decided that surfing had become her burning ambition, so she packed up her surfboard and moved to the warmer surfing-friendly climate of Queensland’s Gold Coast. Angie receives professional surf training at Surfing Australia’s Elite Performance Centre, which has dramatically improved her technique and competition strategies. She has been competing since 2002. 

In 2008, Angie was awarded the title of Open Women’s New Zealand National Champion and was featured in Curl and Surfing magazines. She is also an accomplished snow boarder and instructor and has completed a Sports Management (Surfing Studies) course at Southern Cross University. Aside from all the practical time she spends in the water engaging in one-on-one training with her coach, she is learning surf-industry specific studies in business, finance, marketing, and promotions.

As a qualified personal trainer and athlete, Angie knows how important it is to be fit and healthy. “I know the importance of looking after myself; staying as fit and healthy as possible is essential! The Tahitian Noni™ Original™ Bioactive Beverage gives me valuable nutrients and increases my energy levels to help enhance my surfing performance. Also, the skin care products protect and nourish my skin from the harsh elements I am exposed to every day. Tahitian Noni™ products really help me feel amazing and look after what I have.”
