Susan Steinmetz As a surfer for the past seventeen years, I have developed a style and repertoire of maneuvers that I have honed in the breaks growing up around my home in Palos Verdes, and abroad. I have gained my contest experience first through high school contests and then later in the NSSA. I surf regularly in NSSA southwest and various Pro-Am contests with solid results. |
