The Lineup podcast celebrates its 100th episode with Championship Tour star, Olympian, and World Title contender Caroline Marks. She talks about preparing for the historic Billabong Pro Pipeline, the first-ever full women's CT event at Pipe. She discusses practicing at Pipeline over Thanksgiving, getting her North Shore quiver locked in with shaper Matt Biolos, and her game plan for taking on the world's most dangerous wave. She looks back at her 2021 season that feels like forever ago, from the false-positive test at the start of the year, to the incredible experience at the Olympics, to just missing out on the WSL Final 5, to getting energized and focused for this season. Caroline also touches on growing up in Florida, the impact her family has had on her career and passion for surfing, maturing while on tour, facing your surfing idols at such a young age, and Caitlin Simmers' big decision to forgo the tour.
