Man… surfing has taught me so much. It’s an outlet. Everyone needs one of those. I can go out and have a session and let all my frustrations out. And then I come back and on land I’m a better person. Getting stuck inside on a big day teaches you grit. Lully sets teach you patience. Reading waves teaches you focus and presence. The list goes on and on.
What is something you'd like to accomplish in the next 10 years?
Share a goal for the next decade, and how surfing might have influenced these aspirations.

In the next 10 years, I’m hoping my business, roo.bru, can grow to its fullest potential. I want to support surfers, be the sticker on the nose that everyone wants. The redbull of healthy drinks. I want to support the next gen of surfing - give back to the community that has given me so much.
What Sam Mitchell Is Stoked On Lately...

Caity Simmers for sure! Her approach to surfing is unreal, and her approach to life inspires me. I love that she edits her own movies and stuff. A rad human.
