MORGAN HOESTEREY
More at home in the water than on land, Morgan Hoesterey has gravitated towards a life spent in, on and around the water.
Morgan was a 4-time High School All-American Swimmer and US Olympic Trials Qualifier, which led to a swimming scholarship at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. There, she became a Division 1 NCAA All-American, and eventually transitioned her athletic career from the pool to the ocean.
Hawaii was where she fell in love with everything having to do with the ocean, specifically surfing and freediving; and since then, she has traveled the world looking for salty adventures including freediving, adventure racing, sailing, paddling, surfing, and open water swimming.
At home in Southern California, she shares her experiences as a paddling and freediving instructor, and is always looking out for the next great adventure.
