A partnership that embodies empowerment – KERSY STRAUSS supports big-wave surfer Katrina
Fearless. Focused. Female. KERSY STRAUSS and big-wave surfer Katrina show what happens when technology meets empowerment: wetsuits that not only protect but also empower – and a partnership that takes courage and passion to the next level.
When towering waves crash against the Portuguese coast, she's right in the thick of it: Katrina, a big-wave surfer from Latvia, lives and trains in Nazaré, the global hotspot for big wave surfing. As one of only five women worldwide who regularly brave these gigantic waves, she embodies courage, determination, and boundless passion.
Big wave surfing isn't just an extreme sport – it's a testament to absolute dedication. Katrina surfs in conditions considered life-threatening, proving time and again that female strength knows no bounds. Her unwavering will and discipline make her a true pioneer in a scene otherwise dominated by men.
KERSY STRAUSS accompanies them as a strong partner at their side – with wetsuits specifically designed for extreme conditions. Every detail is designed to provide the best possible protection for athletes like Katrina – without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement.
The high-quality neoprene material offers maximum thermal insulation, protection from cold and wind, and a perfect fit that supports every movement. Because only those who feel secure can give their best.
The message of the partnership is clear:
“We support fearless women,” says designer and CEO Kerstin Strauss – a statement that extends far beyond sports. KERSY STRAUSS stands for technical innovation, modern design, and the conviction that clothing can empower from within, creating a “feeling to wear.”
