70 pounds, one wavestorm, and a whole new life: Kristy's story

This Friday, we meet Kristy Barone—a self-proclaimed late bloomer who didn’t see the ocean until her 30s and now shreds Rockaway Beach like she was born on a board. In this episode, Kristy shares how a spontaneous surf lesson with her daughter became a full-blown life transformation: 70 pounds lost, anxiety quieted, and passport stamps gained. From crying at the ocean to paddling out in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, Kristy’s story is proof that it’s never too late to dive in. Whether you’re landlocked or just stuck in your own head, her journey might just be the nudge you need.
