Ainara Aymat Will Kick Your Ass In A Game of Chess

Ainara is one of Vans Stab High, Central America, presented by Monster Energy’s carefully curated style critics hailing from the wave-rich Basque region on Spain’s north coast. 

A fan of long-right walls, warm water, and rinsing fools on the chessboard, Ainara brings a nuanced eye for aesthetics to the panel’s scoring criterion. 

Don’t let her charm and grace mislead, she won’t hesitate to deduct points for rusty aerial biomechanics. What she’s looking for is “a little complicated,” which is sufficiently arbitrary to put our surfers on high-alert.
