Manage episode 417109388 series 2836081
At just 3 years old Reid Van Wagoner caught her first wave. She was hooked! Now 14, Reid is a surfing prodigy competing in both shortboard and longboard competitions, sometimes even in the same day! In this episode you'll meet the future of women's surfing. Reid shares her journey of growing up in a surfing family, how she balances life with being a young competitive athlete, and her excitement in being part the revolution of women's surfing.
Main Themes:
- Mindful Surfing in Competition: "Everything happens the way it's going to happen." — Reid Van Wagoner
- Resilience in Sports: "Just kind of push yourself and get over those obstacles and not let them get you down too much. If you let them get you down, then you're not going to be able to improve or to push past those." — Reid Van Wagoner
- Inspirational Figures in Surfing: "I look up to basically all of them. I met most of them and they're all so sweet. I have a couple local surfers like Katie Simmers and all of them like the youngest, like surfers on tour right now. I like surf with them and I always looked up to them when I was a little girl and then now they're on like the WSL tour and I'm like, wow, like I could do that one day." — Reid Van Wagoner
