3 ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS YEAR: Charged huge hawaiin swells, toured with her bestie (Carissa Moore), improved on all aspects of her surfing.

We were lucky enough to speak with Vai earlier in the year when she showcased in our grommet of the month series! The raw talent that this young lady displays is way beyond her years! Only 13 years old and she surfs better than most men and women out there. Keep up the amazing work chick and bring on 2021!

Jesse Starling

You will most often find Jesse Starling in the ocean with a big grin on her face. Beginning her surfing at the iconic North Narrabeen in Sydney Australia at around the age of 12, Jesse began to grow her surfing career here with guidance from many of the surfing world's greats including Nathan Hedge, Belinda Hardwick, Simon Anderson and Laura Enever. Taking on the wisdom from those around her, Jesse learnt how to combine grace and power to become the rounded surfer she is today. Jesse has competed in a variety of events including the Australian Junior Titles, Pro Juniors, Qualifying Series events and has now gone on to become an young entrepreneur creating a female surfing magazine MurMur Mag to coincide perfectly with her competitive surfing career. At 19 years old Jesse is fully committed to creating a life in the surfing world with intent on inspiring and adding to the growth of female surfing.
