Angie Medina

Angie Medina was born on the ocean in her father’s fishing boat in Southern Costa Rica. She grew up there in Costa Rica in a small coastal community called Pilon and still lives in the area now. Her father was a lifelong fisherman and her family has been lucky to have access to the ocean and so many perfect waves.

After seeing amazing waves and other surfers over the years, Angie told herself, “I need to learn to surf!”. At 14 years old she got her hands on a board and began to teach herself. Angie is the oldest girl in her family and some of her 8 brothers and sisters surf too. She started on a small 5’5 board, taught herself how to ride waves, and has been passionate about surfing ever since!

Her dad’s life as a fisherman and all of his time spent in the water is where her love for the ocean comes from. When Angie isn’t surfing or sharing her beautiful home and waves with her surf students, she loves to go fishing with her brothers and spend more time out in the water.
