 waves will be like") and finally some plyometric work, so "my body feels dynamic when I'm surfing". It's got to be fun, though. "If one day I didn't do anything, then maybe I'll go out with my friends and we'll dance for a few hours. Or, go hiking. It's about making it fun rather than feeling guilty for not going to the gym." Like many athletes (and yogis, for that matter), she places huge importance on breath work. "I've learnt a lot working with different people around the world who really like to tap into the Wim Hof techniques," she says, referring to the Dutch extreme athlete, known for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures. "[Like] learning how to use your entire body when you're breathing, not just the shallow breaths up in your chest. If you're stressed and freaking out, doing some breathing exercises can really bring you back to centre, bring your heart rate down and help you focus. You can also use it at the start of a heat or before you paddle out to kind of get the blood flowing and get the oxygen happening and get your body switched on. It's crucial, I think, for everybody, not just athletes, to really pay attention to how they breathe." In case you're wondering, her daily training includes actual surfing, too. This champ will get in the water at least once a day, whether it's for a high-intensity catch-as-many-waves-as-poss 30 minutes or a three-hour session, with a practise competition heat thrown in for good measure. It depends on what the ocean's doing, though - kind of like a fiery toddler, it's always the one in charge.
Water warrior
Equality in sport isn't the only issue that gets Steph fired up. She's an environmental advocate, which makes her picky about the brands she works with. Ones that have made the cut? Nikon, Breitling, Audi (a force in electric-car innovation) and Roxy. She's collaborated with the latter on a POP Surf collection of wet suits and swimwear, made using a fibre created from recycled plastics, including old fishing nets, bottles and industrial scraps. "I was involved with making sure the product used sustainably sourced material that would have the least amount of impact [on the planet], because that's a huge part of what I want as my legacy. To really make a difference in the world - that's important to me - and I'm so stoked that Roxy was willing to work with me on these things.


Stephanie Gilmore is reminiscing about her first love.
She was 11, growing up in Murwillumbah, NSW. It was the first thing she thought about when she woke up, and the last thing floating in her mind before bed. That's the power of the ocean, she says - it's constantly changing and you're left wondering what it'll be like tomorrow. "I think that's what keeps me coming back. [The ocean] has taught me to let go of things, you know, because you can't fight it. You just have to sort of go with it. It gives me so much joy, all these challenges, and at the end of the day it's fun, too. The most fun that I've had in my life has been moments in the ocean." It freaks her out sometimes, though, right? Steph bursts out laughing. "Of course! The ocean is terrifying! I've got scars on my body from missing a wave here and there. But it's nice to have that little bit of fear - that's where the magic happens, when you push yourself into that uncomfortable zone."

A shore thing 
Hit up Steph's Instagram and you won't find a typical 'Aussie surfer living my best life' bio. Right now, there's simply a link to a Rolling Stone article, which tells her story in 15 songs. Sure, her feed contains surfing photos, but you'll also spot shots of art, dogs, friends, travel (another great love) and videos of her playing the guitar. Creativity is a huge part of what keeps Steph so positive and chilled, whether it's journalling to help her stay present and cope with stress, or music - she's hooked on musician docos and plays everything from Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin and Tame Impala to Led Zeppelin on her 20-odd guitars ("I have a total addiction"). "I think the first song my dad taught me was [Bob Dylan's] The Times They Are a-Chan gin' but I probably played it horribly for years and years," Steph remembers, laughing. (Her practice came good: she's played onstage with two of the Foo Fighters, as well as US singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett.) Her approach to fitness also transcends the waves. Travel can throw her routine out of whack, but she aims for 90 minutes of exercise daily. Think: an hour of strengthening yoga ("It's so great for flexibility and balance") followed by a 20-minute run ("I'm doing a bit lately to keep my cardio up - I change my training a little around each event, depending on what the.
