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

Why Trust Bianca on Gear Decisions?
Â
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-downsÂ
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 (2Ă— 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.
Â
This isn't a shopping list — it's a decision framework.
Â
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.
Â
The goal is simple: Reduce friction so you can keep surfing as long as you want.
Start TodayThey'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.
