Bio
Kassia Meador embodies grace, balance, style and beauty. She learned to surf in Malibu, California, a long boarder haven at the tender age of 14, where she discovered her talent for cross stepping and nose riding perfectly tapered waves. After winning the first contest she ever entered, the Roxy Wahine Classic at San Onofre, CA, Kassia continued to climb in the professional world of women’s long boarding competition.

For the past several years, Kassie (as her friends like to call her) has continued to compete and travel the world perfecting her effortless style while being respected and admired as one of the best longboarders, male or female, in the history of surfing. Her talent and character, both in and out of the water, have been hugely influential to the sport. Kassia has been a major face for the Roxy brand ever since joining the team in 1997. She has been on numerous photo shoots, boat trips and has been a crucial part of Roxy events. This young star carries her grace and poise in everywhere she goes; combining her radiant smile, contagious laughter and love for the ocean in all that she does.

Kassie’s surfing success has given her the opportunity to explore her other talents. She started her own production company, Stardust Productions, last year and has just finished and debuted in her first movie “Fashion” – a quirky surf flick about surfing, women, life, and fashion. Last December, she finished the design of her signature longboard model with Donald Takayama. Kassie has also been taking courses in the art of photography and has been working hard at this additional passion. Her work has been published as a portfolio feature in the second issue of Salt magazine. Right now, Kassie is spending her days training hard for the upcoming Longboard Magazine contests in Hawaii this August, and in California in Spetember.

Whether working on her movies, photographer, traveling, or perfecting her surfing, Kassie does it with an energy that is craved by all. She is passionate about her dreams and will continue to live out each and every one. Her dance though life is beautiful to behold. Just like her cross stepping atop her longboard, all of her moves are done with style, excitement and grace.
