Stacy Peralta

Stacy Peralta Instagram – I’m riding waves here that are essentially unridable on a conventional surfboard yet fantastically ridable on a foil board. Using something others no longer want and converting it to something fun is where I get such great pleasure in my life. Yesterday I was riding waves that looked like morning sickness; small, bumpy and swampy and yet I had endless fun. I’m riding in surf conditions that I once would’ve turned away from and am now wanting those exact conditions – this is all so similar to what we did during the backyard pool revolution in the 70s. Many of the pools we skated were abandoned, decaying and cast aside, yet we found another use for them. Where some saw a former swimming pool, we saw 10 foot waves that were frozen in cement – and by turning these frozen waves into our playground we unwittingly laid the groundwork for a brand new sport all based on the magic of finding something to play on that no others want – turning what some might consider burnt coal into pure gold. Keep Riding On. | Posted on 18/Feb/2024 21:54:39
