Pro Surfer Stephanie Gilmore is Our Guest DJ

The life of a pro surfer is pretty much unlike any other occupation. Stephanie Gilmore is one of the best surfers out there (four-time world champion!) and she spends her days traveling the world in search of the perfect wave. In fact, she shared her musings on her unique lifestyle – and the music that fuels it – as part of her Guest DJ Project set. Hear the full set here and check out a preview below.
