Meet Anna, a Swiss surfer who defied all odds growing up landlocked. With 12 years of riding waves under her belt, she has embarked on a thrilling journey, challenging herself with bigger and bolder swells. Having crossed paths with Anna a few years ago and staying connected through social media, I can’t help but be inspired by her incredible spirit.
One particular moment that left a lasting impression was seeing Anna surf a notable wave at Uluwatu in Bali. While I consider myself relatively fearless in the water, I have yet to attempt a wave of that size. This sparked my curiosity, leading me to interview Anna and learn more about her mindset and approach to surfing and training and why she likes to surf bigger waves.
Stay tuned as I uncover Anna’s journey, showcasing her dedication, passion, and the wisdom that has propelled her to go big or go home. 🌟🔥
