It’s off to Aspen in the 3^rd episode of the ‘Surf To Snow’ series, and no snow adventure would be complete without the queen of snowboarding and Olympic gold medalist Torah Bright in on the action.

Ice skating (or something close), toboggan riding, hot cocoa drinking and a day packed with snowboarding help round out this episode in snowy Colorado.  We know the previous episode had you looking forward to warmer weather, but we’re thinking the cold might be winning back our hearts…how about yours?

It was only befitting that today’s Twitter giveaway was a Roxy snowboard (yep, the one Torah rides), a pair of Bright Edition goggles and an Olay Gift Pack!

Kassia Meador is one of the most recognizable longboarders in the world, known for her smooth styles both on and off the board. Kassi has developed a passion for surfing, shooting film, and tripping around the globe in search of perfect peelers and radically random weirdness. Meet Kass and check out her inspiration behind the wetsuits that have set the bar and led the way in new flair and wetsuit design and technology…

I’m Kassia Meador, and I’ve been surfing for Roxy for the last 13 years. Since I was young I was always interested in wetsuit design and fashion. I’ve always felt as surfers, what we wear in the water is really a reflection of our personal style. But with wetsuits being the way they were, black on black, there wasn’t really anything out there to let us show our personal style or stand out. About 5 years ago, I thought it was time to change the way the surf world thought about wetsuits, and I worked on my first collection with Roxy.

My inspirations for the first designs came out of my love for the history of surfing and surf costumes, especially bathing suits trends in Europe during the 40′s and 50′s. I wanted to make something that was flattering, comfortable, and would make us women feel like the best versions of ourselves in the water. That first collection sold out. Since then, I’ve developed 5 different colletions of wetsuits with Roxy. Growing and selling out every season helped to start a trend the rest of the surf industry would follow—but more importantly, it was a new way for women to look good and feel great in the water all the while having comfort, flexibility and warmth.

This newest collection is infused with the warmest and most comfortable materials, as well as the grooviest colors and lines to keep our female bodies looking strong and fit. I’m the most excited about this collection than any of the past to date, and I know you will be too. So get out there soak up some sunshine, be bold, live large, follow your bliss and glide the day away….

Away oui go to the southwest coast of France to a city by the sea where striped cabine tents dot the beaches and the salty air complements the freshly baked croissants perfectly. Our friends at the excellent travel website Fathom, along with pro surfer Kassia Meador, weigh in with a few top picks to help you live le vie en plage. Don’t forget, we’ve also put together a collection filled with our faves for a trip to the south of France.

Warm Up

Cozy up to the 19-room Carlina Lodge right on the beach.

Cool Down
Grab a quick and proper Italian bite at Le Glouby, the best pizza on the coast.

Take It In

Peruse the night market, marchés nocturne, in the main square where the morning markets are held.

“I like to go to the local market in the morning for the fresh fruit and chocolate croissants.” – Kassia Meador

Carry On

Rent boards, fins, and the rest from Core’s Air Surf Shop in nearby Saint-Jean-de-Luz by the half-day, day, or week. 

Don’t Miss Out

Salute the sunset at Les 100 Marches with tapas, music, and the locals (square Jean Baptiste Lassalle; +1-33-05-5924-7561).

“I love Biarritz for the French lifestyle, the long summer days, and the late evening surfs.” – Kassia Meador

Playful right-handers and crystal-clear waters—the Maldives almost seems like they were made for our Roxy Surf Team. The tropical paradise has three key surfing zones spanning over 300 miles—that’s 300 miles of pristine point breaks as well as colorful, shallow reefs. Whether it was Sally Fitz slashing a front-hand right, or Kassia Meador dancing on her longboard, the Roxy girls were chasing dreams and catching waves just in time when spring fever set in. They grabbed their spring bikinis for single-fin cruises and reef explorations. Check out a snapshot of their Maldivian adventures.

Get out there, your wave is waiting…#DAREYOURSELF

Look Groovy, Feel Rad and Shred Hot – That basically sums up the Kassia Meador wetsuit collection, designed by Kassia Meador with fit, form and fashion in mind, and more importantly designed by Kassia for women and fancy footwork fanatics like her everywhere. Between the neoprene, neon, and cuts, we’re sure that these are more than just your average surfing suit. We dig it – don’t you?

For more behind the wetsuits, we suggest you check out Kassia’s slideshow where she details the inspiration behind her 4^th wetsuit collection for women, her drawings, designs, and the color inspiration behind the suits.

Here’s a snapshot taken this morning of USA Olympian Lolo Jones getting ready to paddle out in her K.Meador wetsuits. We’ve got a major crush!

Want even more? We’ve been obsessing over our Pinterest boards and have dedicated an entire board to all things Kassia. Trust us, there’s plenty to pin if you combine her wetsuits, her fancy footwork in the water, photography and friends. Get on board…
