Catching Waves and Chasing Dreams: An Afternoon Chat with Courtney Conlogue and Sage Erickson
Sage Erickson: Hey Court! It’s been a minute. After your last competition, I’ve been dying to catch up. How’s it going?
Courtney Conlogue: Sage! I know, right? It’s been crazy busy. Between training, competing, and trying to find some personal downtime, life’s been a total wave. How about you?
Sage Erickson: Pretty much the same. Trying to balance everything feels like riding a monster set in perfect sync. Speaking of, your last run was insane. That barrel at Teahupo’o? Pure magic.
Courtney Conlogue: Thanks, Sage! That wave had me on such an adrenaline high. Honestly, it felt surreal. You never really know with Teahupo’o; it’s like playing poker with the ocean.
Sage Erickson: Tell me about it. So, what’s been your go-to training regimen lately? I’ve heard you’ve got some killer routines that are keeping you sharp.
Courtney Conlogue: Oh, you know, mixing things up has been key. Lots of cross-training with some intense cardio, and I’ve been diving deeper into yoga. It keeps my core strong and my mind focused. Plus, it helps me stay limber for those unexpected wipeouts!
Sage Erickson: Flexibility is everything. Speaking of staying sharp, I saw you’ve been sketching a lot more. Have you turned any of those designs into actual board art yet?
Courtney Conlogue: Yeah! Art’s been my escape. I’ve got a couple of boards with my designs now. It’s awesome seeing my artwork in a whole new medium. There’s something so rad about blending creativity with sport.
Sage Erickson: That’s next level, Court. Always pushing boundaries, I love it. But seriously, how do you manage to stay so grounded with everything going on?
Courtney Conlogue: Haha, it’s a challenge for sure. I make sure to carve out time for family and friends. They’re my rock. And you know, just taking a moment to embrace the present and appreciate the ocean. It’s my sanctuary.
Sage Erickson: Family, friends, and the sea – sounds like the perfect trio. Well, don’t be a stranger. We need to catch a session together soon. Maybe at Malibu?
Courtney Conlogue: Absolutely! Let’s make it happen. Always a blast riding waves with you, Sage.
Sage Erickson: You got it, Court. Cheers to more epic waves and even better times. Catch you soon!
Courtney Conlogue: For sure! Later, Sage!
