“I'm also not going to stop pushing forward and not going to stop working towards those goals. So why not say it out loud and go for it?”
In September 2023, Caroline Marks arguably reached her potential by winning the world championship title on the World Surfing League’s championship tour. At just 21 years-old, and with seven years on the pro circuit clocked, it seemed like clinching the world title was only a matter of time for the young goofy-foot.
In this bonus episode of the Family Crest podcast with host Peter Flax, Marks discusses her ambitious goals (“I'm here to go to as many Olympics as possible and win a gold medal”) and how keeping her brothers around her keeps her grounded (“They humble the sh*t out of me, and I'm grateful for that”).

"Early on from when I was a grom, [my dad] really saw that I enjoyed the beach life, surfing, and just the art of riding waves."
As a kid, Olympic surfer Kolohe Andino was surrounded by professional surfers. His dad, Dino Andino, came up in nascent era of professional surfing in the 1980s and worked in the surf industry thereafter. Kolohe's a part of a special cohort of current pros who as young kids showed immense talents out in the water. Kolohe’s earliest memories are of joining his dad at competitions around the world. Once Kolohe entered the pro circuit himself as a teenager, the expectations mounted—only recently has he been able to put less pressure on himself. In this bonus episode of the Family Crest podcast, Kolohe speaks about seeing the bigger picture in life, that there’s so much more to life than winning and losing, and how much he respects his dad’s legacy.

For more than 25 years, Carissa Moore has been showing us what it means to surf from the heart. With five world titles, an Olympic gold medal and years of milestones and accolades, the 31-year-old surfer recently announced that she will be stepping away from the WSL Championship Tour.
In this bonus episode of the Family Crest podcast, Carissa Moore shares how her approach to competition has evolved over the years, how the Olympic games allowed the surfers on Team USA to bond, and what she loves most about surfing (spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with winning).

"As I drop into a big wave, and I'm at my most comfortable, I no longer feel fear, I see opportunity." —Kai Lenny
It’s wintertime in the Northern Hemisphere, and depending on whom you ask, that means different things. For most of us, that might mean snowy weather, holiday shopping or the NFL playoffs. For surfers, specifically adventurous ones, it means big waves. In this bonus episode, Kai Lenny explains how he feels surfing big waves is his purest form, how surfing helped him channel energy that had him “bouncing off of the walls” as a kid, and how bring a father makes him train harder.
Listen to Kai's full episode of Family Crest featuring his parents and brother Ridge Lenny. Check it out HERE. Family Crest is a podcast by Red Bull's the Red Bulletin magazine. It's hosted by Peter Flax. This episode is was written and produced by Melissa Saenz Gordon.

On September 9th, 2023, in San Clemente, California, Caroline Marks won her first world championship title in professional surfing. She went up against Caity Simmers, the new kid on the block who secured Rookie of the Year in 2023; Tyler Wright, the world champion surfer from Australia who’s been competing on the CT since 2011; and finally, Carissa Moore, the Olympic gold medalist and 5x world champ.
Caroline’s stellar performance in San Clemente also secured her spot for the Summer games. In this bonus episode of season 1, host Peter Flax checks in with Caroline, to see how life has changed, or maybe, how it’s stayed the same, since becoming the world champion.

In 2021, Carissa Moore became a household name by winning gold in the 2020 Summer Olympics—the inaugural year including surfing. In many ways, Carissa became synonymous with surfing and Hawaii. Currently ranked as the #1 female surfer in the world, Carissa’s ability can be traced to her father, Chris Moore, a surfing legend in his own right. But if you dig a little deeper, her prowess has been supported by her younger sister, Cayla, every step of the way. Featured voices include Carissa’s father and sister, Chris and Cayla respectively.

Raised in San Clemente, CA, a—if not the—hub for modern surfing in the continental United States, Kolohe Andino was born into surf culture.

This episode, host Peter Flax explores the passionate relationship between father and son—the parallels and at times, tension—bound by a love for the water. Also featuring commentary from Kolohe’s coach, Mike “Snips” Parsons; and sister, Niah Andino.

Sometimes sibling rivalry can be the catalyst that unlocks your potential. That’s the case for Caroline Marks at least. Caroline preferred riding horses before becoming the youngest surfer to qualify in the WSL at age 15. What inspired the shift? Caroline realized that to impress her two older brothers, Luke and Zach, she’d have to beat them at their own game. Seven years in, and no longer a rookie, Caroline is considered somewhat of a veteran of pro surfing, but she’s only 21 years old. And on the heals of recent win at the Rip Curl WSL Finals 2023, Caroline is the new world champion, but she'll have you know: she's just getting started. Featured voices include Caroline’s parents, Darren and Sara; brothers, Luke and Zach; and longtime coach and manager, Mike "Snips" Parsons.
