I'm Marina Cruz — California born, tide chart reader, and firm believer that the ocean doesn't care how pretty you look when you cast. I split my time between NorCal rivers and SoCal surf, chasing everything from steelhead to leopard sharks with sand in my boots and sunscreen in my braid. Fishing's how I stay grounded in a world that moves too fast — and I'm here to help more women feel powerful with a rod in hand. West Coast wild, salt-slicked, and always rigged to run.
About Me
Favorite Spot:
The rocky coves near Big Sur — where tide, terrain, and timing all test your edge.
Lucky Gear:
My custom-wrapped surf rod with a wave motif, gifted by my abuelo.
First Fishing Memory:
Digging for sand crabs with my cousins in Santa Monica, then watching my mom pull in a halibut right off the pier — that was the moment the hook set deep.
