Maja Röth: A Late Bloomer Who Found Her Calling in the Waves

Born in Poland and raised in Germany, Maja discovered surfing at 27 during a trip with a friend — and knew right away it was all she ever wanted to do. What started as a vacation became a complete life transformation, leading her from landlocked Germany to waves around the world.

Sabbaticals Around the World

Once Maja caught the surfing bug, there was no going back. She took multiple sabbatical years exploring surf destinations in Australia, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia — extended trips that became the dominating focus of her life. Each journey deepened her connection to the ocean and shaped her into the dedicated surfer she is today.

What Maja Says About Our Fins

  • ★★★★★
    Whether I'm on the Eisbach or catching swells in Portugal, I need fins that feel like an extension of my board. These deliver every time.

Between Munich and the Atlantic

Today Maja splits her time between Munich and Espinho, Portugal, where she's built a second home. The Eisbach keeps her skills sharp between ocean trips, but as she says — her heart will always belong to the ocean. Her journey from discovering surfing at 27 to becoming a dedicated river and ocean surfer proves it's never too late to find your passion and chase it with everything you've got.

Maja's Recommended Gear

Maja needs equipment that transitions seamlessly from the fast, technical Eisbach wave to the powerful Atlantic swells of Portugal. These are the fins she trusts for responsive, reliable performance in both environments.
