In this episode, Namu sits down with Jamaica Selby to talk story about growing up in Prevelly, where mornings often started with a surf before school (and sometimes made her late for class).Jamaica reflects on winning the under-16 Australian title at Phillip Island, the influence of her parents, and why she chose to step away from competition at 18. She shares the impact her mum had on her surfing journey—always filming, driving to comps, and bringing fun into every event—and how her dream Rip Curl sponsorship eventually came true.These days, Jamaica splits her time between the south and chasing waves up north, escaping winter and joining “Search” trips to remote, secret locations.
