My Orbit with Nolan Rapoza
Nolan Rapoza isn’t your every day surf star. He’s earned this attention through years of brick laying on the WQS and now Challenger Series. Mixing it up with the world’s best you’ve never heard of. And we decided it’s time you get to know him and what makes him tick before he reaches his goal of the world stage. Let’s enter Nolan’s orbit before he becomes a star.
Laird Superfood Creamer
“Been drinking this stuff since I started drinking coffee and now I can’t drink coffee without it. I bring it everywhere with me around world. It kind of just gives the coffee a distinct flavor you can’t find anywhere else.”
Yoga Mat
“Got to get my stretching in! 27 now and the body definitely does not feel how it use to feel when I was 18.”
Body Glove Red Cell 4/3
$465
Body GlovE
“Best, most durable suit I’ve worn ever. I’m a baby when it comes to cold water. I hate surfing when I’m cold. I’ll even wear a 4/3 in the summer at Lowers. ”
My Cat Mayo
“Just adopted this new cat named Mayo. He’s a little menace! I wanted a little companion and once I got him I found out he was deaf so that just added more menace. Follow him on the gram @mayotheai.”
Foam Roller Ball
“This thing was my best investment since doing the QS. It’s lightweight and fits in my carry on. My hips get so tight when traveling on an airplane so this or a lacrosse ball are the only thing that do the trick. I highly recommend for anyone with tight hips..”
AVVA Boardshorts
AVVA
“You can never go wrong with a nice pair of AVVA boardies. You never know when you’re going to take a dip or not care to get a little dirty in your trunks. I wear them on a daily basis.”
805 Beer
“Only the best American hand crafted beer in America. After a long day or surf session with friends you have to end the day or session off with a cold one.”
Golf Clubs
“Golf has been my biggest hobby/getaway from surfing. When times get stressful you know your mind will turn off when you’re on the course. Nothing better than hangin with the boys and cracking a few cold ones for a few hours.”
Surf Ready Fitness Membership
“Paul Norris at SRF is the best in the business at knowing how to improve a surfers body and mobility. He’s been my trusty right hand man for keeping me in shape since as long as I can remember. A lot of tour surfers use his gym membership. ”
