FRIDAY TUNES BY RACHEL
This week has seen us hitting the road touring our new range of wetsuits, Natural Woman. We started with a fun and colourful evening here at home in Byron at Wild Things and now in Sydney at Sunburnt Mess in Bondi and Keel Supply on the Northern Beaches. It has been such a fun week sharing this with all of you!
We are sure you all agree, but one of the best parts of a road trip is the music & the playlists. We're so stoked to have this catalogue of killer playlists from the Atmosea Community to keep our thumbs tapping away on the wheel.
This weeks playlist comes to you from Rachel, a true gem of a woman. Just like the warmth of the winter sun on your face, Rach's presence is forever appreciated.
With steeze seemingly influenced by the best of by-gone eras, there isn't ever a time when we are't in awe of Rach's style in and out of the water. A truly gentle and humble being, we have always believed Rach lives a pretty perfectly balanced life, just the right amount of time sipping on cuppas in the sun, playing in the waves, learning about environmental initiatives or getting down on the d-floor.
This playlist surely is a banger and perfectly summarises the curator! It leaves you feeling mighty fine, just like when you're in her company.
It's so perfect for a road trip, a drive to the surf or just beers on the deck, turn it up, tune out & enjoy.
Happy Weekend x
Describe to us your ultimate dream day
No alarm, warm cuppa in the morning sun, surf all day, yum food & a deeeep sleep. Maybe a massage too
If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
Hmmm, somehow I always collect elephant related things on my travels – prints, paintings, little clay or brass figurines – so maybe they are my spirit animal
Staple healthy meal?
Tempeh, sauerkraut, stir fried greens in lots of garlic, roast pumpkin, and my fave herb parsley – always on top of everything. YUM
What is a skill you would like to learn, and why?
Astrology or the piano, both are a little romantic and mysterious
Favourite surf memory?
Finding a secret Moroccan point break after days of driving and searching maps, with only 2 loved ones, waves kilometres long, jello legs, freshly caught fish for dinner under the most ridiculous starry sky I have ever seen. What dreams are made of!
Have you read any good books lately?
I’m currently reading Perfume by Patrick Suskind, it’s a classic but it’s pretty twisted
Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert
What movie title best describes your life?
Slow and steady. Is that a movie? If it is that’s me. Maybe I am an elephant after all.
If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you spend that extra time doing?
Learning, reading, surfing, laying in the sun, having deep conversations with friends
Rach’s life motto?
Dory is singing ‘just keep swimming’ in my head
