Jared Dudley

A beloved NBA basketball player known for his three point shot, Jared has become an inspiration for many athletes though his healthy eating lifestyle and dedicated basketball career. He recently conducted a summer camp for high school boys, inspiring them to “be better” by improving their basketball skills and learning healthy habits.

“I love Amy & Brian’s coconut water because it’s refreshing and helps hydrate and fuel me. As a pro athlete I need to put the best in my body so that I can get the best out of it. It’s my favorite brand of coconut water because it’s an all natural product. It allows me to “Be Better” on and off the court. On the court I am able to perform at a high level because Amy & Brian’s Coconut Water provides me with all the nutrients I need to while in action.”

“I love Amy & Brian’s Coconut Water because I know that right when I open up that can to drink, that I am going to be as close to drinking out of a real coconut as possible because their coconut juice is one ingredient, young coconut water. As an athlete, I need to know what I am putting into my body because my body is my career. With Amy & Brian’s Coconut Juice, I can always be comfortable drinking their product to be the best I can be.”

Carly Wilson

Native to Santa Cruz, Wilson began competitively surfing in high school before attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa and competing in her first ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) at Pipeline. She aims to “be better” both in her educational pursuit to research and enhance sustainable food systems as well as her passion for surfing and playing in the outdoors.

“Along with drinking it straight from the can every morning and right after an exhausting surf session, I enjoy adding Amy & Brian’s Coconut Water into my green smoothies! I also get creative and cook my rice and quinoa in their coconut water. I love Amy & Brian’s Coconut Water because not only is it sweeter (and the best in my opinion) than all the other brands, but it is a pure and natural alternative to other drinks in order to hydrate after a workout; doesn’t contain any of the junk that many of the other popular sports drinks contain. Surfing in the sun and salty ocean constantly drains me and I need to rehydrate with electrolytes!”
