We speak to Lindsey Holland, founder of surf lifestyle brand, Marnie Rays.

Do you remember the moment you fell in love with surfing? 

Lindsey is an ex dancer, turned physiotherapist, turned part-time fashion influencer, turned full-time (very successful) fashion influencer. And then everything changed on one retreat, a retreat she’d gone on to get over a relationship ending, and a new love emerged: surfing.

I think we all recognise that feeling when we first fall in love with a board sport. It’s genuinely like meeting someone new, you can’t get enough of them, they take up your every thought, you re-organise your life around that new relationship. And so it was for Lindsey as she began to travel around the world to learn to surf in new destinations, bringing her significant instagram audience on the journey with her. 

That new feeling of love with the sport ended up being the essence of her business, Marnie Rays, a surf lifestyle brand that hosts retreats all around the world, bringing women on that same journey into the sport (albeit in fairly luxurious surrounds). 

We cover:

• Lyndsey’s multi-lane career landing in the world of surfing
• The founding journey of Marnie Rays
• Why surfing is such a release for mid-life women
• Moving to cornwall and hosting global retreats
• The importance of positive self-talk
• Surfing and anxiety and being humbled by the ocean

I hope you enjoy this one! Let me know what you think!
