What’s something you wish to tell the youth of today through your life experiences so far @maineikinimaka ? Never do just the minimum, and not to keep all your eggs in one basket. Throughout my life my mom always pushed me to do more, even when I thought I couldn’t or didn’t want to. I went to full time public school while traveling internationally every month for surfing, took all the most challenging courses available, and participated in extracurricular. It was hard to balance it all, but it was definitely doable. It showed me how much I could handle and gave me confidence. I think this is really important for kids who surf to learn because you need to know you're capable of more in life than just surfing, in case somewhere down the road it doesn't work out for you. You always need a plan B, and having an education is really, really important. // Link in Bio for full interview by Holly Monkman @hollyakamonkey // Photography Cait Miers @caitmiersphotography // @roxy // #summersitejourneys #alohaspirit #maineispirit #surfergirl #hawaiian #?summersite?
