EP 87: Courtney Conlogue - The US Open, Her comeback 2021 season, Waves of consequence on tour, Recovering from serious concussions, Strike mission to Tahiti, The effects of social media, and Her thoughts on the Rip Curl WSL Finals

Championship Tour star and Huntington Beach local Courtney Conlogue
joins the podcast to talk about the US Open and her comeback 2021
season. The two-time US Open winner discusses the iconic event held
in her hometown, how it holds a special place in her heart, and
using her local knowledge to her advantage. She describes competing
after taking a year off from surfing while recovering from three
concussions in seven months, shares how revitalized she felt in
Mexico when she clinched her spot on tour next year, and gives her
thoughts on how the Rip Curl WSL Finals played out. She talks about
waves of consequence on tour, the strike mission she took to Tahiti
this year, surfing Pipeline with Carissa Moore and Keala Kennelly,
and the importance of having a tour that challenges its athletes.
Courtney also touches on the first board she ever bought, being in
the spotlight at a young age, the effects social media has on
today’s youth, and what she would have done if she didn’t pursue
pro surfing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
