EP 210: Camilla Kemp - Being the first woman surfer ever to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics in Teahupo’o, The Eisbach River, Dryrobe, Competing in the German Surfing Championships in Munich, and the Best apple strudel in Germany

Dryrobe ambassador and the first female German surfer to ever
qualify for the Olympics Camilla Kemp join us on the podcast.
Calling in prior to the start of the EDP Ericeira Pro Presented By
Estrella Galicia, Camilla talks to us about her competitive mindset
for the year, confessing that while initially her goal was to
compete in the Challenger Series in 2024, she opted not to do all
the events this year in order to focus on preparing for the 2024
Paris Olympics in Teahupo’o, understanding how it important it was
to her country and her team. She talks about the incredible support
she has received from the German Federation, the team she and Tim
Elter had around them, and the preparation they had to take in
order to be ready to surf a wave like Teahupo’o. She talks about
being a Dryrobe ambassador, and their dedication to telling her
story through their film together, CAMILLA. She discusses her
upbringing, having been born and raised in Portugal to Dutch and
German parents, and the struggle of finding her identity. She
reveals having once been in the circus, juggling and monocycling
until she discovered surfing. Camilla and Dave muse over the
unsuspectingly rich surfing culture in Germany, particularly in
Munich, home of the Eisbach River, a popular surfing destination
for locals and tourists alike. They discuss Camilla surfing in the
German Surfing Championships to be held at the newly opened wave
system in Munich, the 02 Surftown MUC from October 11 - 13, her
involvement in the SWOX Empowerment Surf Retreat, and her goals
moving ahead, before closing out the pod with Instagram Questions,
revealing the best place to get an apple strudel in Germany, and
the Lightning Round. Learn more about Camilla and follow her here.
