Michael - Support Group

Michael enjoys getting outdoors at every opportunity. ‘You know it’s going to be a great day when the sun is out and glistening across Sydney Harbour, there’s a paddle in your hand and 15km of you, your kayak, the waves and salt water in your face! Now that’s living! Get out there and get into it!’

Dee - Morayfield store

Dee is a scuba diver and loves nothing more than getting out to the local wrecks and reef sites. Dee is blessed to have her own boat, which means getting out weekends to blow bubbles with her partner Mark. 'My most memorable dives were the Coolidge (Vanuatu) and Yongala (Townsville).' 

Em - Support Group

Em adores the outdoors! Life is an opportunity to ramble along unexplored mountain bike trails, climb mountains in faraway lands and dive into surreal underwater worlds off exotic islands… All this is even better when it’s shared with the company of good friends.

Deb - Support Group

‘I love nothing better than to get out on my bike and enjoy the sun, wind and freedom. There is something to be said for experiencing our great country. Recently, getting out to Kings Canyon and hiking with friends was an amazing experience’.

Karina - Auburn store

Suggest anything to do with the outdoors and Karina is usually interested! Give her a pack and she's happy to go hiking through the bush, a tent and she will go camping or a bike and she will complete a triathlon. Keeping active is her passion, and given the opportunity she is always ready for a new challenge.

Jarrod - Support Group

‘I love being outside, whether it’s camping with my family, riding, kayaking or sailing. I take any opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy life.’

James - Support Group

James loves his riding, whether it be out hitting the trails on the MTB bike, or simply cruising to work on the roadie. ‘Four wheels move the body but two wheels move the soul’ is the quote he lives by.

Jack - Everton Park store

Whether its an overnight kayak trip, weekend fishing escape or a camping getaway to his favourite camp site, Jack is always ready for adventure and is more than happy to share his vast knowledge and experiences with Anaconda's wonderful customers. He has also been known to come to work dressed as a pirate...

Kip - Support Group

Kip was raised in the Rocky Mountains of North America. Those who have witnessed him rock scramble up steep inclines believe the local lore that he was raised by a wild pack of mountain goats. There can be no doubting that the outdoors is part of his DNA.
He likes hiking, stories at the campfire, the open road, and destinations unplanned. It is rumoured that he was the first to introduce SMORES to Australia.

Chris - Support Group

Chris likes keeping active and enjoys a vast array of outdoor activities including surfing, snowboarding, mountain-bike riding, trekking and camping with the family. ‘If it involves being outside in the fresh air – I’m there!’ In his spare time (of which he has little) his other passion is playing the guitar... and unleashing his inner rock god.

DJ - Morayfield store

Being a professional sportsman for over twelve years, DJ never had enough time for the great outdoors. Now he loves to get out and experience areas of great natural beauty and significance in our great country. 'The culture, the people and of course the products at Anaconda inspire all of us to give it a go. I hope to see you out and about soon.'

Matt - Support Group

Riding a bike is one of life’s simplest, most enjoyable pleasures. From flying along a winding mountain bike trail in the middle of the bush to relaxing on the ride home from work, life is riding a bike.

Belal - Support Group

After discovering that it’s more fun to stay in the kayak than to end up in the water Belal is now a keen kayaker. After trying it for the first time soon after joining the Anaconda team he has discovered a whole new world ON the water not IN the water. Being new to adventure he is keen to try all outdoor activities and hopes to try many more as part of the Anaconda team.

Bec - Support Group

Her most memorable fishing trips include fishing in Guatemala, Florida Keys and remote areas of Australia, like Rowley Shoals and Bugatti Reef. Bec always welcomes an opportunity to chat with a fellow angler about fishing... the hardest part is getting her to stop!
