Truli Girls from The UK
Cesca Peirce (England)
Cesca Peirce is the kind of woman that possesses a natural radiance that lights up those around her. Growing up in England, Cesca left behind a 3rd Dan Black Belt in karate and moved to The Turks & Caicos Islands to work as manager at the horse ranch Caicos Corral, but the call of the sea beckoned! While in TCI she has become an avid kiteboarder and also enjoys wakeboarding, surfing, and scuba diving. There's nothing that inspires Cesca more than the colours of the ocean and is head over heels in love with the freedom that being in the water brings. Like all Truli Water Women, Cesca recognizes the power and strength of the ocean and always maintains the utmost respect for it, while allowing it to soothe and calm her soul. This girl is Truli in tune with the swell of the sea and an amazing addition to the Truli Water Women team! We are so happy to have Cesca represent for us! Cesca is wearing a size Medium in Fireball Orange.

Pippa Swannell (England)
Pippa is one of those unique individuals who has passion, intelligence, and a zest for life that can be difficult to match. I was fortunate to work with and get to know Pippa onboard The Turks & Caicos Explorer II scuba liveaboard in 2014 and was grateful to have her around to answer all my (and the guests'!) fish identification questions! Pippa has a background in geology, but has pursued a career in marine conservation and has become a true expert in the field of nudibranches. The youngest in her family, Pippa looked up to her older sister, Jo's, adventurous nature and followed her to Egypt where Jo was working as a Dive Instructor. Her sister taught Pippa to scuba dive and introduced Pippa to explore a whole new world of fantastic, alien and beautiful creatures beneath the sea. For Pippa, finding, observing and learning about the tiniest and most intriguing invertebrates in the ocean is as rewarding as any multi-billion dollar space exploration! Pippa, now a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, has travelled and worked in scuba diving from Egypt to Belize, to Indonesia, The Philippines, Bonaire, and The Turks & Caicos Islands and documents every experience like a true scientist in her notebook with careful and artistic drawings of various species she discovers on every dive. Pippa currently works as a naturalist guide with in water encounters with Humpback Whales expedition company Aquatic Adventures. We are proud to have Pippa be an ambassador for Truli Wetsuits and admire her commitment and dedication to marine conservation and education. Keep up the great work, Pippa! Pippa is wearing a size Medium in Fireball Orange.

Kate Ross (England)
"If you aren't crashing, you aren't trying hard enough!" Kate Ross is the owner of that personal tagline and is well-aware of the fact that without failure there cannot be learning and personal growth. With that in mind, Kate has consistently progressed herself to be an advanced level kiteboarder since she started kiteboarding in 2011. She loves perfecting her favourite tricks and is currently working on raley to blind in addition to being the awesome owner of South Coast Kitesurf in the UK. In the off-season, Kate loves to travel to top kiteboarding destinations such as South Africa, Brazil, and Australia (her personal favourite). Although by nature Kate is determined and focused in fulfilling her dreams and following her heart, she chooses to live by the rules of the sea and simply to go with the flow. She is able to capture that unique sense of peace and tranquility that you can only get while at one with the sea. We are very proud of Kate and all that she's accomplished so far and can't wait to see what the future has in store! Kate is totally stoked about the cut and style of her Truli Wetsuit especially enjoying the booty cut which she says doesn't ride up when you crash - "No more fiddling about in the water trying to preserve my dignity with my wetsuit showing everything after i wipe out!". Kate is wearing a size Medium in Pot of Gold Yellow.
