Anne Marie Mortensen
doing more of what makes her happy.

«Doing more of what makes me happy.» That is the tagline on Anne Marie Mortensen's Instagram, and we cannot think of a better way to sum her up. The Edge Crew says it plainly: we love having Anne Marie on the team.

Anne Marie is the prototype of a perfect kayak enthusiast. She is sporty through and through — sea kayaking, whitewater paddling, skiing, mountain biking and all kinds of hiking. Summit cairns, river rapids, beach breaks: wherever the good days are, that is where you will find her.

Here is what she says about her own Edge Alnes (translated from Norwegian):

«The Edge is playful, and quick to turn so you can catch many more surfs. It is easy to get onto the roof rack on your own because it is so light. It is simply great fun to paddle — versatile even though it is specialised, and fast enough for touring despite the short keel line. And it is cool to look at.»

After testing the Edge many times, we are glad she now has her own Edge Alnes — the black boat you see surfing Solastranden and gliding through forest rivers in the clips here. Surf photos by Kirki DeSmet (@krikismith) with @norvantur, and ocean photos by Torbjørn Kjølhaug.
