Published: October 14, 2026 Press Release

I-SEA is proud to announce the signing of professional surfer Sawyer Lindblad, welcoming one of the sport’s most exciting young talents to its athlete roster. Known for her powerful and progressive surfing, Lindblad represents the next generation of women’s surfing and shares I-SEA’s deep connection to the ocean and Southern California surf culture.

A San Clemente native, Lindblad grew up surfing the world-renowned waves of Lower Trestles, developing the fearless style and competitive drive that have helped establish her as a standout on the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour. After dominating the junior ranks, she captured her first US Open of Surfing title in 2023, earning a place on the Championship Tour at just 18 years old. She followed that breakthrough with 2024 WSL Rookie of the Year honors and secured her second US Open of Surfing title in 2025.

In 2026, Lindblad reached another career milestone, claiming her first Championship Tour victory at the Rio Pro and breaking into the world’s top five. She continues to establish herself as a legitimate world title contender and a potential representative for Team USA at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

“We’re stoked to welcome Sawyer to the I-SEA team,” said Joey Santley, CEO. “She’s an incredible talent with a competitive drive and style that make her one to watch in the years ahead. As a Southern California surfer, she embodies the surf culture that’s at the heart of I-SEA, and we’re excited to support her as she continues to push her surfing to the next level.”

Through the partnership, I-SEA will support Lindblad as she competes on the world stage, connecting the brand with the next generation of surf talent and fans. As the Official Sunglass of the WSL Championship Tour, I-SEA continues to strengthen its commitment to the athletes, communities, and coastal culture that inspire the brand.
