Im working on launching my own instagram page in the near future, @stylesistaa
But for now my good friend Gabriella Kohr has created a platform of a mix of curated items, some in which are mine, @dekohrstudio
Growing up in Dana Point, I have witnessed first hand in the community the generations of influential people around me. A long list of professional surfers, musicians, and artists have lived here and are a big part of the community, allowing for me to learn, listen and feel inspired by them.
A surf ready suit to me has to have two major key components. Functionality and Fun. Nothing better to me than having a bright or unique suit in the water. Some of my other favorite styles include, the ginger, the Vega, Lulu boardshorts, anything with a fun pattern as well!
I started traveling for surfing at a young age, mostly domestic travel here in the US for surf competitions. Once I graduated high school it was time to go international,
Since then it's been pretty non stop. Needless to say, because of the pandemic, it's been the longest I've been home for a consecutive amount of time since I was in High School.
Life’s been a bit of a rollercoaster but it has been wonderful to take a step back and enjoy the beauty of my own backyard and country. Happy to say that having a wonderful neighboring country nearby has been my saving grace. ¡Viva mexico!
Yes! It's the “Harmony”! It's a very well rounded longboard for all levels of surfing. The combination of balanced foil and flat bottom with the 50/50 rail creates a stable predictable ride for all.
I also have the “floppy disk model” which is a modern take of a 70s single fin, if ya got the need for speed!
There's an undeniable theatrical element to dressing; It's a chance to express yourself, whether it's in or out of the water to me. It's kind of an escape. David Bowie is a huge style icon to me!
The Mentawais, Fiji I haven't explored much of that part of the world… yet.
Any words of wisdom or advice for female surfers around the globe?
Have fun! When I was a grom I would get alot of hazing being one of the only girls in the water, and some things were very hurtful. Just remember to not let it get you down, use that energy to shred harder.
Anything exciting/new on the horizon?
Stay Tuned for more colorways of the “Macarena." Coming this year!
