Watch this complete interview with 5X World SUP Surfing champion Izzi Gomez from the first installment of the APP World Tour’s Immersed TV. Izzi talks about her early days, winning and her recent World Title.
Izzi Gomez & Dave Boehne Chat About Winning 5 World Titles
In this interview from the APP World Tour’s inaugural episode of Immersed TV, Infinity SUP coach & brand leader, Dave Boehne, talks with 5X SUP Surf World Champion Izzi Gomez about her climb to the top. Izzi began with her first world title in Huntington Beach, CA when she was 15 years old. She is quite a different athlete and competitor today as a seasoned vet with FIVE World Championships under her belt.
Barbados unleashed “the most impressive women’s SUP Surfing anyone’s ever seen…”
– Dave Boehne
The duo discuss Izzi’s recent win at the Barbados Pro in November 2019 where, in a sudden turn of events, Izzi captured her 5th golden ring to make her the most winningest woman in the history of SUP surfing. The event itself brought waves that elevated performance of the sport to a whole new level. Izzi and the other women, including ISA champion Shakira Westdorp, 2018 World Champ Iballa Moreno and other fierce contenders brought their A-game to Soup Bowls on Barbados’ East Coast, raising the bar for women’s SUP the world over.
“I feel that the level of surfing that was on display there for both men & women was next levels.” – Izzi Gomez
Izzi dominated for the women, fending off top level performances from Vania Torres, Iballa Moreno and others. Sean Poynter put the crowd on notice with his electrifying style and powerful snaps for the men. Overall, it was quite a show.
