Surfing’s It Girl Karina Rozunko Stars In ‘Doll Riot’

Femme surf cool, 2019.

Karina Rozunko has to be one of the most marketable surfers to slap sticker to craft.

One of the great ironies of the surfing world is that play counts, social reach (and all the other things brands use to try justify their marketing budgets) are eclipsed by cool. Effortless style has been an intrinsic part of surfing since its inception and it can’t be taught. Karina looks as stylish perched on the beak of her log as she does cooling off under a brolly on the beach, vintage sunnies resting on her bridge. She’s 2019 Californian feminine surf cool personified, and she’s had us captivated for some time. Doll Riot is Rini’s flawless 6 minute art biopic, filmed by Jimmy Jazz and arted by Ozzie Wright. We highly recommend pressing play.
