The stunning photos, taken in Tahiti by Steven Lippman, show off Conlogue’s gorgeous figure and skill. She makes surfing look easy, but her training is no joke.
In the interview, the athlete shared some of her training routine. For starters, it includes lots of gym time, breath training and close calls on the water. Conlogue also shared her views on body positivity and how she learned to love her own body.
“I’m at the point where I’m so happy with how I feel,” Conlogue said, “everything my body has is seriously what I need to do a run. I’ve fine-tuned how I need to look in order to be the best I can when that jersey goes on and I’m competing.”
