Deal closers. Badass BigWave Women @kealakennelly@paigealms@andreamollermaui and I didn’t start the fight for equal pay in surfing. And we didn’t end it.
But together in 2018 we closed one of the biggest milestones yet: equal pay in professional surfing — the first sports league in the world to require equal prize money.
We did it by getting the State of California to back us and in doing so put WSL in a corner they couldn’t ignore. (Cover story @nytmag Feb 2019)
Now there are more women and girls in the water than ever before. And the guys are all cheering us on!
Proof that when we paddle together, we move the whole ocean.
Happy International Women’s Day. 🤍
No coach out here. Just you
and your habits. If you hesitate, you’re done.
Build better habits. I go deep on this inside the Summit. Link in bio. #surflongevity #surfwomen #womenwhosurf
Favorite part of surf trips — running into friends in faraway lineups 🌊 @bethanyhamilton and @briannacope were absolutely killing it and bringing the best vibes as always!!! Surf longevity is realizing the lineup keeps getting better when the women around you do too. Especially at pumping Cloudbreak, sharing waves with absolute powerhouses. B³ forever 💙 #girlsupdate
You don’t need better waves. You need a better mindset.
The biggest breakthroughs in surfing don’t happen on the board. They happen between the ears.
After 33 years of surfing — through injuries, big waves, burn out, coaching, fear, progression, and rebuilding — I’ve realized the surfers who keep improving all have one thing in common:
They think differently.
Mindset is a huge part of what I teach in my coaching because the way you think shapes the way you surf.
There are 5 mindset shifts that completely changed surfing for me.
One of them is in this carousel.

10 years paddling the Bay
and somehow still discovering new routes.
Fort Cronkite → Bar Bocce.
Through caves.
Around Point Bonita.
Under the bridge. Sharks below us.
Type 2 fun. ☠️🚩
The ocean’s always been where I check in.
Some days it’s clarity. Some days it’s release.
Either way, getting in the water helps me reset and come back to myself.
Check in before you drop in.
Proud to support @rationalebrewing + @andyironsfoundation for Mental Health Awareness Month.
Bianca built her longevity program while coaching the oldest person ever to surf Mavericks for the first time.
She refined the process, tested it on herself, and kept using it through wins, setbacks, and injury.
And when it mattered most, she went back to the same system — and it worked.

Whether it’s 2 feet or 25 feet…
whether you longboard, shortboard, or you’re just getting started…
having a system is what matters 🌊
Surf Longevity starts tomorrow.
Enrollment closes at 11:59am PT.
DM me or comment “longevity” if you want to know more.
Bianca starts her mornings with breathwork and mantras. A quiet practice before the noise of the day.
A way to stay grounded before stepping into pressure and competition - and a reminder of what really matters.

More sessions = more waves.
If your body breaks down, your season shrinks.
I tore my ACL and MCL.
Back surfing big waves in 2.5 months. No surgery.
Because I have a system.
I surf shorter, recover faster, and go more often.
That’s how you actually stack waves.
Unless it’s pumping, one of my daily habits is maintenance.
That’s how I don’t run out of gas like I used to in my 20s.
More sessions. Less pain. More waves.
Comment “Longevity” and I’ll send you the info.
Class starts May 7 — not sure when I’ll teach it again.
Early in her career, Bianca wanted to be the best.
But over time - and after experiencing burnout - her mindset changed.
Winning stopped being about beating everyone else and became about showing up as the best version of herself.
Sometimes that means pushing forward.
And sometimes it means listening to your body and knowing when to step back.
