Beginning of the End | Jesse Mendes

February 27, 2024 1 min read

Is this retirement or just a new beginning?

"I guess the beginning of the end was an idea to share some of what’s happening in my life lately. I'm at an interesting transition in my career where I have stopped competing after many years on tour which is giving me a new beginning to chase a bit of freedom in surfing. To get to go places where I haven’t been, at different times of the year away from the crowded scenes that come with traveling with the tour. Also, thankfully Body Glove has supported me to continue to do what I love as I venture out to showcase my surfing outside of a jersey. I want to show that my surfing is much more than just tour events. Surfing is my way of life and I will do it as long as I can stand." - Jess Mendes
