Our own Lakey Peterson recently joined “The Lineup” podcast with World Surf League executive, commentator, and host Dave Prodan to talk Making Waves, winning mindsets, and more.
In it, Lakey and Dave also catch up and discuss Lakey’s work with Leandro Dora, who has given her fresh eyes on her surfing. Being awarded the 2025 Season wildcard, Lakey is back on tour after just barely missing the cut in 2024 and shares her mindset shift. She discusses working with her long-time shaper, Britt Merrick, the evolution of her equipment with Channel Islands, and what it really takes to win in today’s ultra-competitive field. She answers your Instagram questions, reveals her go-to pre-heat songs, and tackles the Lightning Round.
Watch it in full below now, and then read on to learn more about The Lineup, Making Waves, and what Lakey Peterson’s been up to.
Lakey also opens up about working with fellow Santa Barbaran Morgan Maassen on Making Waves, reflecting on the thrill of competitive surfing, the heartbreaks, and the motivation she still feels today.
