Meet the Founders

  • Delia is from the cold waters of Northern California. He father, a surfboard shaper, taught her to surf at a young age. The waves Delia was raised on are big and rugged and she naturally became a “big wave surfer.” She has been an underground surfer most of her life, but over the past two years, she started pushing her limits at well-known big wave breaks such as Mavericks, Waimea, Pe’ahi, and Todos Santos. Delia recently won “Thriller at Killers,” an online big wave contest at Todos Santos, and will compete in the live event the winter of 2024.

    Delia is also a passionate environmentalist, dancer, and writer. She currently lives on the North Shore of Oahu with her fiancé who she enjoys surfing big waves with.

  • Polly Ralda was born in Guatemala to a former professional ballet dancer mother and a coffee farmer father. She fell in love with the ocean at age five when her family spent a year living on a boat on the Caribbean side of Guatemala. When Polly learned to surf at age 13, there were only 35 surfers in the country and surfing was not an established sport. She was a weekend surfer, but her dream was to become a full-time professional surfer.

    Polly moved to Hawaii when she was 20 years old with the idea of becoming a big wave surfer. When she was 24, she got her first World Surf League XXL nomination for the biggest wave paddled by a woman. This nomination encouraged her to further pursue her big-wave dreams. In 2017 she participated in the first-ever WSL Big Wave Tour. She participated in the Peahi challenge at Jaws and placed seventh in the world that year. Polly has been invited to The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational two years in a row. She enjoys traveling the world and has surfed many big wave sports including Jaws, Waimea, Himalayas, Mavericks, Puerto Escondido, Nazare, and more. Polly currently resides on the North Shore of Oahu with her daughter and husband and runs a coconut business.
