Julie shares details about the San Clemente mural featuring Erin Brooks, Sierra Kerr, Molly Picklum, Caity Simmers, Sky Brown, and Caroline Marks: 

This mural celebrates the incredible talent and achievements of this generation of women in surfing. They are pushing the sport forward and making history.

It was a pleasure working with Jodie Nelson and the producer of NOW DAYS, a film highlighting this remarkable group of women and their impact on the sport. It was especially exciting to see Erin Brooks win her third consecutive CT event at Trestles, adding another milestone to an already historic moment for women’s surfing.

It was also incredibly meaningful to have some of the athletes featured in the mural sign their portraits. Capturing and celebrating these athletes at such an important point in their careers was an honor.

The mural was also featured in an article here if you want more information:
