In partnership with Sanuk, we are proud to present “Holy Meola!” – a punchy portrait of (arguably) the raddest brother-sister in surfing today: Matt and Lily Meola. Whether Matt is inventing new airs like the Spindle Flip or pushing boundaries at massive Jaws, his surfing has the kind of reckless flair and gumby-like resilience that make it peerless. In case you hadn’t heard, Lily is a rising-star country singer busting down doors of her own. She’s already put time in touring with Willie Nelson, Rolling Stone called her “a country artist you need to know,” and she just cut a brand new record with a Winehouse-like soul that might collect a trophy room full of platinum plaques. Who knows?
Here’s a peek into their charmed world. It’s a good one.
Full edit goes live on The Inertia on Friday. Get ready! Holy Meola!
