About Kassia: Kassia Meador learned the art of riding longboards at California's famed Malibu Surfrider Beach when she was 14 years old. Quickly discovering her natural surfing talent and love for the ocean, Kassia dedicated most of her free time to the hallowed waves and beach culture of The Bu, refining herself into a smooth, stylish surfer with a graceful noseriding repertoire. Kassia won the first contest she ever entered-the Roxy Wahine Classic at San Onofre, California-and, since, has maintained a constant presence atop the ranks of women's professional longboarding. For the past 9 years she has been traveling the world as a pro surfer and popular Roxy swimsuit model. Known for her radiant smile, charm, and contagious laughter, Kassia's visibility and reputation within the surf industry has allowed her the opportunity to become a mainstream media spokeswoman for female athletes. Kassia has been featured in magazines such as Seventeen, Jane, Allure, and Paper, and is fast becoming an established television personality thanks to network spots on MTV, ABC, Fox Sports Net, and Fuel TV. When Kassia is not chasing waves she is hanging with her dog, working out, or thinking about her next project.
