Namita Nayyar:
In 2016, your WSL Rank was number 5. How would you describe this wonderful benchmark?
Johanne Defay:
And I just finished 5 again in 2018! In 5 years on the World Tour I saw the level of women surfing go crazy! Women are improving so fast. It is such a pride to be part of it :). And being in the top 10 every year consecutivly with two time top 5 is better than anything I dreamed of! That’s what I like about competing, it is that you can push yourself so much trying to be better. You are facing yourself, your real self. There is no lies.
Namita Nayyar:
Your breakfast Comprises of?
Johanne Defay:
I love food and breakfast! I love smoothie bowl topped with any kind of cool stuff! toast with any nut butter with banana hemps seed and honey, or a homemade banana bread, and sometime croissant or buns :). I like to do healthy pancakes too, but I get lazy sometimes… And I will always have my coffee.
Namita Nayyar:
Your surf inspiring role model?
Johanne Defay:
Carissa Moore. Her surfing is so strong and beautiful! She has so many good values, she is a great person.
Namita Nayyar:
Other than surfing, what other projects are you working on this year?
Johanne Defay:
To be honest I haven’t done much this year. I want to do a crowdfunding with one of my board (the one I won Uluwatu/Bali with) for breast cancer. My sister was sick this year and I painted a part of my boards in pink to have her with me in the water. And slowly I am thinking of what I will do later after my career.
