Joe Turpel dials up 2025 Championship Tour Rookie Marco Mignot to discuss his multicultural upbringing as a French-Mexican surfer, his connection to the vibrant Sayulita community, and his journey from boogie boarding to chasing dreams on the world stage.

With over a decade of experience surfing Pipeline, Marco shares his respect for the wave and his aspirations to make his mark in the upcoming season.
