MORGAN HAAKMA

MORGAN HAAKMA

We love Morgan because she is all about surrounding herself with awesome humans, stepping outside her comfort zone, landing new tricks, epic adventures, breathtaking views, challenges, being outside, and hanging out with friends and family. Currently based in North Carolina, USA, Morgan is #sharingthestoke as a wakeboarding coach at Shred the Gnar. This girl is what we are all about.

My towelie of choice... the Alina towelie. I'm in and out of the water A LOT, and use hoodie towels all the time, and the STOKEDNZ towelies are the coolest by far!!

I'm inspired by... Sir Edmund Hillary, his absolute love for adventure, and especially the difference he has made in the lives of the people and communities in the Himalayas. In a recent trip there, I was able to see first hand the impact he has had on the lives of so many, and the impact he has had on the world. Sir Ed is an exceptional example of how kindness and hard work makes the world a better place for everyone.

Values I live by... being kind to everyone. Have courage. Believing in myself. Work hard at work worth doing. Play hard. Chase dreams and goals to make them my reality. Create my own success. Take opportunities that come my way. Give back more than you took. Look after our bodies and the earth - we only get one of each! Talk to (safe) strangers - they have their own interesting story! Be different, unique and diverse. 

I can't resist... NZ Whittakers Milk Chocolate after a sunny calm day on the water with my favourite humans and dog, and a jam session with my dad :)
