LEADERSHIP

Founder

✦ FOUNDER

Zoe Oduntan

Saltus Grammar School — Class of '27
Roles: Organizer, Fundraiser, Social Media

"Rowing taught me that strength comes from the team, not just the individual.

I started Longtails so that every young person has a chance to experience rowing not just as a one-time activity, but as a sport they can train in, grow in, and potentially pursue at higher levels.  I have helped introduce rowing to students across Bermuda, supported school outreach, and advocated for more youth opportunities both on the water and through indoor rowing. 

As a young founder, I bring energy, vision, and a strong belief that rowing can open doors for Bermuda’s youth — on the water, in the classroom, and beyond."
