Catharina Edin

Sweden

I’ve been involved in the watersport industry from just about every angle over the past decade, starting out in a surf shop, then going on to compete internationally on the world tour, where I earned two 3rd-place and two 4th-place overall finishes. Along the way, I’ve also been part of R&D teams, helping shape the gear we ride, and worked in marketing.

As an athlete, I’m driven by passion and progression, not just in competition, but in the way I connect with the ocean and the community around it. Off the water, I’m passionate about storytelling, product innovation and staying grounded in the lifestyle that brought me here in the first place. I love exploring that balance between performance and purpose."
