We are excited to say that Urban Surfer have once again been lucky enough to catch up with our favourite surfer girl, Corinne Evans. With no time to waste, we have dove straight in, grilling the tré cool lady for her top surf tips and some personal facts...
It’s a pleasure to catch up with you again Corinne, could you tell us what you've been up to since we last spoke? It's always great catching up with you guys too! Well what have I been up to... been travelling a bit in Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mexico and around Europe. Which as you can imagine has been pretty epic! Just surfing as much as I can and modelling lots. Generally living my dream!
I understand you've been busy travelling; hitting places such as Sri Lanka, Mexico… have you been anywhere else? (We’re not jealous at all!) Yeah I've been all over the place! Most recently though I have been in France working on my Girls Surf Camps, Maldives surfing with Animal and I've just got back from a lovely holiday to the Canaries!
So, from all of the places you’ve travelled, where would you rate as the number one location to catch a good wave? Hands down the Maldives! It's heaven on earth. Fun waves to be had all over.
After looking into the up and coming UK Surf Festivals for 2014 I have come across the Evans Surf Tour, which is this month, are you looking forward to it? Can you tell me more about the changes you've planned for this year’s event? My Surf Tour kicks off on 26th April and will run until mid October. This year I have changed the days up. I have now the Gidget Surf Day which is focussed on beginner surfing. The Margo Surf Day which specialises in Intermediate Surfing and the Rell Day which is all about taking your surfing to the next level with Advanced tips and techniques.
We love Animal here at Urban Surfer so we couldn't help but notice you've been modelling a few of their new additions to the Spring/ Summer 2014 range. How was that? Really fun! The Animal team are amazing to work with, they're always so welcoming and put me at ease straight away.
Do you have any favourites from their new range? I am loving their new Swimsuits! Don't get me wrong I love a bikini but I can't get enough of the Ivella-Swimsuit.
We’re loving the new ombre hair by the way Oh, thanks! I've had it for a while now but since coming back from the Canaries it's gone super ombre!So; as a pro surfer and model, a great deal of discipline must be involved to stay in shape and build your endurance for the sport, what are your three top rules to maintaining a healthy lifestyle? 1.Surfing as much as I can - It's such a fun way to keep in shape so why not try and do it everyday! 2.Stretching - I am naturally very flexible but I know that won't last so keeping supple is key to reducing the risk of injuries whilst surfing. 3.Everything in moderation - I never cut things out of my diet, I find eating healthy comes easy to me but everyone deserves a cheat every now and again.
When you're not catching waves, where would we likely to find you?
When I'm not surfing I am either: Working and by that I mean updating my website and sharing pics on Instagram, Chilling with my friends and boyfriend, or cooking; it's my favourite thing to do when I have down time!Could you give us your top 5 surfing tips for our aspiring readers? 1. Surf as much as you can. 2. Paddle harder than you already do - You'll get way more waves that way. 3. Watch yourself Surf. Trust me everyone surfs way better in their head than they do in reality! It's a great way to improve. 4. Get the right custom board! I have been held back so much by surfing bad boards... Now I am Surfing the right boards for me. Stay tuned Ladies because I have an exciting NEW Range coming out with Fourth Surfboards which are perfect for chicks! 5. Have fun! Surfing is meant to be fun so don't get stressed if you fall on your take off or miss that wave. Just enjoy being out in the ocean!
