The Gear Guidance Mini Course

Gear either supports your nervous system or slowly wears it down.

Most surfers focus on technique. But your equipment quietly shapes every moment of your session—from how calm you feel paddling out to how much energy you have tomorrow.

Is this also you?

Surfing feels harder than it used to but it's not always your body.

You get cold faster.

You hesitate after wipeouts.

You feel rattled after a hold-down.

You exit sessions tired instead of stoked.

We tend to blame fitness or age. Often, it's friction.

The wrong leash keeps you underwater longer.
The wrong suit stresses your nervous system.
Lack of protection adds quiet anxiety that burns energy before you catch a wave.

Longevity isn't about pushing harder.
It's about removing what drains you.

Why Trust Bianca on Gear Decisions?

Two decades of testing equipment in the world's most demanding conditions. Bianca doesn't test gear in casual surf. She's refined her equipment choices through:

Tow-in surfing at Mavericks

Where a failed leash or ill-fitting wetsuit can mean life-threatening hold-downs in 50°F water

Multiple-wave hold-downs

Lasting 20+ seconds in freezing, turbulent conditions—where gear either protects your nervous system or compounds the danger

Global Testing Ground

Competing at Puerto Escondido (2× Cup Winner) and Pipeline, where impact protection and thermoregulation directly affect performance

31+ Years

Surfing since age 7, competing in big waves for two decades

The Gear Guidance Mini Course

Gear Guidance is a focused mini-course on the equipment decisions that protect energy, improve safety, and make surfing feel easier over time.

This isn't a shopping list — it's a decision framework.

Bianca breaks down the same principles she uses in demanding conditions and shows how they apply to everyday surfing—small waves, travel days, cold water, warm water, and changing bodies.

The goal is simple: Reduce friction so you can keep surfing as long as you want.

Most surfers don't struggle because
they lack grit or experience.

They're riding boards that no longer match their body, age, or energy system

They've focused only on technique, without realizing their gear keeps their nervous system on edge

Especially for surfers returning after injury, surgery, or long breaks—where confidence matters as much as strength

This isn't about buying more gear. It's about choosing the right gear, for the right reasons, so surfing feels supportive instead of depleting.

Choose gear that supports your body, calms your nervous system, and helps you trust yourself in the water again.

A practical, experience-based mini course designed to help surfers make high-impact gear decisions.
