Helen

Helen Helder-Manson, born 1975
Helen was born and raised in the South Island of New Zealand. She worked as a nurse, and then an anesthetic assistant in NZ operating theaters, before being kidnapped by her waiter, and forced to surf in Portugal. (Dang!) Loves shopping, making pie, running, yoga and surfing. Don't mess with her in the morning until her third cup of coffee!
Helen takes care of the admin side of Atlantic Riders.
Surf style: Lazy Longboarding and 7'7".

and

Rene

René Helder, born october 1969
Born and raised in Holland from Dutch father and Surinam mother. Has a degree in International Management and Logistic Management from the the Hague School of Business. Before Atlantic Riders René worked at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport with an Airfreight Logistics company. After a few years he realized that the concrete jungle is not a good place to be. At the age of 29 he resigned and went traveling for two years in Australia and New Zealand, where he eventually found his wife Helen. He's happy he changed the suited life for a wetsuited life. Essentials: surf, funk, chilling with friends and midnight munchies.
Surf style: Longboarding
