A Catch-Up Session with Kolohe Andino and Gabriel Medina
Kolohe Andino: What’s up, Gabriel! Long time no see, man. How’s life treating you?
Gabriel Medina: Hey, Kolohe! All good, bro. Just got back from a crazy session down in Hossegor. Those barrels were something else. How about you? Keeping busy in San Clemente?
Kolohe Andino: You know it! San Clemente’s been epic. We’ve had some killer swells rolling through. Plus, the town’s energy is always unbeatable. Speaking of energy, I heard you’ve been working on some new moves? Spill the beans!
Gabriel Medina: Ha, you heard right. I’ve been dialing in this new aerial—trying to mix a bit of the old-school style with some fresh twists. Let me tell you, it’s one wild ride. But enough about me, I saw that insane backside air you pulled off at Lower Trestles. That was next level, dude!
Kolohe Andino: Thanks, man! Just trying to keep things interesting. Those airs have been my obsession lately. Sometimes I think I might try to stick one in a comp if the conditions are right. Are you planning any new competition strategies this season?
Gabriel Medina: Definitely. I’ve been focusing on consistency and endurance. You know how it is, one minute the waves are perfect, the next they’re a soup. Gotta stay sharp. But hey, I’ve been dying to ask—how do you keep pushing your limits? You’re always innovating, never backing down. What’s your secret?
Kolohe Andino: Honestly, it’s all about the mental game. I stay stoked by surrounding myself with good vibes and always thinking about the next big move. Plus, I’ve got an amazing support crew. They keep me grounded and hyped at the same time. Speaking of support, what’s the latest in your camp?
Gabriel Medina: I’m lucky with my team too. My coach has been a game-changer. We’re also working on some new boards that feel like they might unlock a few more tricks. Oh, and we’re diving into some breath-holding techniques. It’s helping me stay calm under pressure, especially when those big waves start closing in. Ever tried it?
Kolohe Andino: Yeah, actually! Breath-holding is a game-changer, for sure. I’ve been incorporating it into my training sessions. Helps me stay centered and think clearly, even when I’m getting pummeled. So, what’s next for Gabriel Medina? Any top-secret plans you wanna share?
Gabriel Medina: Oh, you know I always have something cooking! But for now, just focusing on the tour and maybe a couple of secret spots I’ve been eyeing. You might catch a glimpse on my Insta soon. And you, what’s the next adventure for Kolohe Andino?
Kolohe Andino: I’ve got a few projects up my sleeve too! Working on some new content, maybe an epic surf trip this winter. And, of course, prepping for the next competition. Always gotta bring my A-game. Let’s make a deal—next big wave session, we hit it together. Deal?
Gabriel Medina: Deal! Let’s tear it up. Catch you on the flip side, Kolohe!
Kolohe Andino: You got it, Gabriel. Stay stoked, brother!
