Balance on The Bay

I was recently profiled in the Honolulu Star Advertiser for the upcoming Wanderlust Festival.

Rochelle Ballard, International Surfing Association World Masters Champion and arguably the world’s best female tube rider, has carved out a name for herself riding big waves in barreling conditions.

However, these days, there’s a chance that you’ll see her using her physical prowess to find the stillness in Oahu’s fabled North Shore waters. Since retiring from professional surfing in 2007, Ballard has become a full-time yogi and is part of a growing trend of athletes who are combining these vastly different sports.
