8x World Champ Stephanie Gilmore has just completed her first trip on The Search since gracefully moonwalking away from the Championship Tour.
Along with style icon Tom Curren and tube maestro Mason Ho, Steph embarked on The Search to explore a new pace for her surfing. Lazer Breathing Dragons is the result of that trip - a barrel full of laughs and a barrel full of barrels.
“All my life I’ve surfed with primarily one major purpose. To go fast with fierceness and style. That was my purpose,” says Steph about her approach to her career. “I don’t know what is next for me. I don’t know what is next for my surfing. But I’m very excited about it. That is my Search.”
Lazer Breathing Dragons takes cues from the wild fun of the 1980s – a decade when both Steph and Mason were born, and when Curren won his first two world titles. Rather than exploring brand new places, it’s about exploring a different mindset to competition and always pushing the limits of performance. There’s laybacks, cut downs, hair flicks, and streetside soup selling. There’s rodeos and monkeys. Take 15 minutes out of your day to escape to a different headspace.
Welcome back to The Search, Steph.
