Hello! I'm Alexia, but you can call me Fancypants. I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, in a generation when most girls didn't surf. And so I grew up on the beach watching all of the boys surf. After 15 landlocked years in Denver we moved to San Diego and at 41 I decided that I was so over just sitting on the beach, and took surf lessons. Over the past 7 years surfing has become and indelible part of my life. It has taken me to parts of the world I'd never thought to explore and introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise. And it's even become part of my entrepreneurial journey as I now run Salt & Reverie, a fin and accessory company.

When I'm not dreaming about the ocean, I run Vuka, a natural energy drink company and In The Verdant Field, a marketing and branding consultancy. I'm also in school trying to complete the degree I left in my 20's and I have three teenagers, a husband and two dogs!
