You probably all know Kassia Meador. Super stylish longboarder. I traveled Australia with her one summer many years ago. She’s the real deal. After a long career with Roxy, she has broken out of the surf industry corporate bubble and started her own adventure, founding a wetsuit brand called Kassia.
I pulled this info from her website that you should definitely check out! KassiaSurf.com
