We recently had the opportunity to sit down with our new Brand Ambassador, Jordan, for an inspiring chat about her incredible surfing journey, her life in Indonesia, and all her personal favorites.
Jordan joined SEPTEMBER earlier in 2023. She now lives and works as a surf coach in Indonesia but hails originally from Canada.
Q. Could you tell us a bit about what brought you to Indonesia?
Definitely the waves and there is just something about South East Asia that resonates within me.
Q. When did you first start surfing and what does surfing mean to you?
I first tried surfing in a very thick wetsuit in the Pacific North West, Tofino, British Columbia, Canada. Surfing for me is an intimacy with nature and the natural world. It is my greatest passion in life. A way to connect and focus my energy in something I love. It's my life's ultimate adventure where I get to travel, explore, and geek out on everything ocean-related, from waves to coastlines, and all the cool stuff in between!
Q. How has your passion for surfing influenced your lifestyle and career choices?
Surfing has changed my life big time! It brought me to the ocean and sparked my travel curiosity. I've chased waves all around the world, met incredible people, and embraced countless diverse experiences. I'm a surf coach for over 16 years now and have dedicated my life to surfing, coaching and living by the ocean.
Q. What about surf coaching brings you the most joy?
I love that my office is the ocean. Sharing my love for surfing and coaching with others lights up my heart! It’s a beautiful thing and brings me so much joy to see clients progress and have so much fun riding waves.
Q. What do you appreciate most about the island of Lombok?
Lombok is a dream! It has the best waves, breathtaking beauty, and the locals are all about sharing smiles like it's their favorite thing to do!
Q. Do you have a favorite morning routine?
Listening to the birds, meditation, stretching, coffee = GO!
Q. Tell us about your favorite food (Indonesian and non-Indonesian)
Indonesian treats? Absolutely love Balinese Pumpkin Curry and West Sumatra Beef Rendang! And when I'm in Canada, hand picked fresh garden salads with herbs, edible flowers and plants and mushrooms picked in the forest!
Q. What do you love the most in the world?
That's easy! My family, nature, friends, surfing, dancing and music.
Q. SEPTEMBER is a sustainable swimwear brand. How does sustainability align with your personal values?
I love the natural world. So, knowing that SEPTEMBER is all about eco-friendly production and sustainability makes me super proud to be their ambassador. It's the way every business should be doing!
Q. How did you connect with SEPTEMBER and what aspects of the brand philosophy attracted you to become a brand ambassador?
I first used SEPTEMBER swimwear while working for Surf Simply and absolutely love every piece of their collection! Their swimwear is fantastic in terms of fabric quality and functionality in the surf, and I also feel very beautiful in anything by SEPTEMBER.
I love that SEPTEMBER uses a female owned and run manufacturer in Bali.
Q. Do you have a favorite piece of the SEPTEMBER collection?
I have many favorites! My current favorite piece of the collection is my Poppy Burnt Sienna Bikini!
Q. Lastly, what's your dream travel or surf destination that you have not yet been to?
I would love to travel to Senegal for surf! Additionally, I can't wait to return to the Himalayas for another big trekking adventure.

This top is so good! Super comfy, supportive, and it actually stays in place when I’m surfing or just laying out. The fabric feels really nice and the fit is super flattering. Love the square neckline and the textured fabric. I’ve been reaching for this one nonstop. You can really tell the quality in the fabric!
I love this super cute suit! Double lined so it stays in place while I’m surfing. Awesome color pattern.
Pattern is so cute, fits perfectly, true to size and super Flattering, and for sure the most comfortable bikini i got. Cant wait to have some more September in my closet🌺
I adore this sun crop top/rash guard. The fabric is super soft (I have never tried anything near this soft), and it fits so nicely! Perfect for longer surf sessions in the tropics/during summer, to stay protected from the sun. I used to surf in bikinis only, but this top has been a total game changer now as I want to protect my skin more. The thumbhole detail helps to protect the upper parts of my hands too, and makes it stay in place. Can’t recommend it enough!! Love it!
Really liking to surf in this. The coverage is perfect for me, feels comfortable at all times, it’s buttery but also resistant. I’ve gotten compliments on the cool green pattern too!
This top is exactly what I needed for the right support and a comfortable yet stylish feel (my biggest fear with bikinis is to see my top fly off mid wipeout!). The fabric is very soft and the color is actually super vibrant, I’m definitely loving it.
I really love the fit of these surf shorts! They are high waisted and I love surfing in shorties like these. The color and material is also nice. The only thing I don't absolutely love is the banded elastic waist, just because sometimes it is not the most flattering if you are in between sizes. Mine are really comfy and fit me well, I am a pretty standard medium and they seem true to size. They stay put in the surf and I got lots of compliments on these :) would recommend.
I surfed in this top and its super cute and stays put! Usually I end up with the same style of sports bra - esque surf top because it's all that really stays on in the surf, but this one is flattering and I didn't have to re-adjust it either. I got lots of compliments on this! Personally I took the padding out, it's nice that you can remove it if you want. I also really love the blue color and the ribbed material feels nice. Very comfy.
Exactly that I was looking for for my trip to Indo, stylish, functional, high quality sun protection. Highly recommend!
Can not get enough of the high neck for hawaii and tight fitting torso for surfing north shore
I love that instead of two removable pads like in most bikinis, this has one long thin padding insert that doesn’t move around. Great design & quality! Perfect for surfing.TTS.
I’ve been wearing the Atoll Bikini Top lounging in the sun and staying active at the beach—it’s quickly become my go-to. The fit is true to size and feels super supportive thanks to the molded elastic under the bust and adjustable straps. I love how soft the fabric is, and it is such a flattering fit without feeling restrictive.
As someone who’s in and out of the ocean all the time, I appreciate that it holds up well in saltwater and sun—and the UPF 50+ protection is a huge bonus. Plus, the fact that it’s made from regenerated materials like ghost nets and ocean plastic makes me feel good about wearing it!
As a minimal, stylish piece that fits well & feels good, I'd highly recommend!
I have never felt more supported and hugged by a suit. The fabric is the top notch quality. I’m heavy on the chest so it is normally such a struggle to find a surf suit that fits perfect. I can surf in this suit without it moving at all! Couldn’t suggest this suit more!! Also side note.. FAV pilates and yoga outfit as well!! Will be wearing this suit all day everyday this summer!!
I've been wearing my September Atoll Top and Lucky bottoms to the pool and the beach and just love the classic fit. It's super elegant and functional, so I can lounge in it or be active and take it out to the surf! The Lagoon Green Stripe print is super fun too and makes me feel like I'm surfing in the 60s which is such a vibe.
This bikini supports good and stays in place while surfing this was exactly what I needed! I can not believe how comfortable with this bottom, highly recommend 🙌🙌🙌
