This video isn’t about wave size. And it’s definitely not about bravado.

It’s about what actually matters when things get real.

👉 How decisions form under pressure.

👉 How fear shows up—and how it’s met.

👉 How calm is accessed when panic would be easy.

In this short X-Factor video, Bianca breaks down real waves from her own sessions—including some of the heaviest waves she’s ever surfed—and walks you through what was happening in the moment, before outcomes were known.

What she saw.
What she felt.
What decisions she made — and why.

Not as theory.
Not as tips.
Not as a highlight reel.

But as a way of…

Operating in the water when there’s no room for hesitation.

Inside the tape

You’ll hear Bianca unpack moments like:

✅ Losing her athletic base on a massive Mavericks wave, and what mattered in the milliseconds that followed.

✅ The biggest wipeout of her life—how she stayed oriented, managed breath, and moved through multiple hold-downs.

✅ Surfacing alone with another wave behind her, and how awareness and breath bought time.

✅ Hesitating mid-drop on an outer reef, then correcting in real time to stay with the line.

✅ Committing to a paddle wave at Mavericks even as stability disappeared.

These aren’t “what you should do” lessons. They’re…

This is what actually happened, kind of moments.

What this X-Factor video is and isn’t

This is:

✅ A real commentary over real waves

✅ A behind-the-scenes look at how I operate under consequence

✅ A preview of the deeper work inside the

This is not:

❌ A full training program

❌ A technique tutorial

❌ A replacement for time in the water

Think of it as watching how someone stays calm inside chaos — so you start recognizing those same patterns in your own surfing.

This video tends to land hardest for surfers who:

• Deal with fear or hesitation when waves get serious
  
  
• Are coming back after injury or time away
  
  
• Notice inconsistency when pressure ramps up
  
  
• Care about longevity, not just getting through sessions
  
  

You don’t need to surf big waves.
You just need to know what pressure feels like.

One thing I’ve learned is that surfing well long-term isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about making cleaner decisions, choosing the right moments, preparing before you paddle and accepting wipeouts as part of the equation.

That’s the lens this video is shot through.
