Upon moving back to Malibu at the age of 13, Errico decided to fully focus on longboarding, a style well-suited to her vast and elegant repertoire of movement.
“The wave in Malibu is very longboard-oriented, and it’s a culture where longboarding is very much respected and supported. I also just love the versatility of longboarding, how you can nose-ride and turn and trim and bring a lot of style to it—it really fits with who I am as a person.”
As she continued working tirelessly to build her technique and refine her style, Errico claimed victory in a host of competitions (including the 2016 USA Surfing Women’s Longboard Championship) and started training with three-time WSL World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen.
In a life-changing turn of events, she next emerged as the surprise winner of the 2018 WSL Women’s World Longboard Championship in Taiwan.
With her most recent wins including the 2019 Relik Longboard World Tour, Errico joined forces with Firewire in 2020 and quickly set to work on designing her signature boards in collaboration with famed surfer CJ Nelson.
“CJ’s been coaching me for the past year, and he’s really helped me find my style and become the surfer I am now,” says Errico, who names Nelson as her number-one inspiration.
Not only the first female surfer signed to Firewire, Errico has proved instrumental in fulfilling the brand’s mission of expanding into the longboard market.
Made with state-of-the-art Thunderbolt Technology to enhance performance and improve board control, the Soleil Series launched with two gorgeously designed models: the Velvet Hour (a lavender/blush-hued board meant for riding in all conditions) and the Sunkist (a bright-yellow model whose performance-focused design allows for nimble maneuvering through more sizable waves).
