EP 153: Alyssa Spencer - A strong start to the Challenger Series season, Competing at Pipeline for the first time, Barely missing qualification in 2022, Where she finds her competitive drive, and Stories from traveling on the Challenger Series

Challenger Series World No. 5, former World Junior Champion, and
Surf Ranch Pro pres by 805 Beer wildcard Alyssa Spencer joins the
pod. She talks about her strong start to the 2023 Challenger
Series, barely missing out on qualifying for the Championship Tour
last season, the biggest wins of her career, and competing at
Pipeline as an injury replacement to start the season. She breaks
down her motivation to make the tour, the goal to stay consistent
in each event, navigating the highs and lows, and the women on the
Challenger Series that inspire her the most. She looks back at her
surfing origins, growing up and learning in Encinitas, California,
where she got her intense competitive drive, winning the regional
QS, and working with coach Matt Myers and traveling with Vahine
Fierro. Alyssa also touches on her pre-heat playlist, what’s in her
Channel Islands quiver, and funny stories from the Challenger
Series. Learn more about Alyssa and follow her here. Watch full
