🌊 FLOW STATE — A Summer Art Exhibition by Christina McGrath
📍 Charlie’s Gelato, Matakana
🗓 Nov 3–12, 2025
✨ Day Event: Sat Nov 9 | 3–5 PM
🎟 Free | All Welcome

There’s a moment where motion becomes magic —
where the ocean paints through you, not from you.
That’s the Flow State.

These pieces were born from surrender, rhythm, and trust —
like catching a perfect wave or losing yourself in a breath that lasts forever.

Come taste the salt in the air, the colour of freedom, and the pulse of summer.
Let the art move you. Melt you. Wake something wild inside you.

Let’s go!! Stoked to give it a full send ⚡️

I’m pivoting back into surfing — and fusing it with the endurance world of long rides, trail runs, and deep flow. This blend has completely redefined how I see performance, purpose, and potential.

When discipline, alignment, and flow converge — you don’t have to choose between strength and soul. You can do it all.

Surfing unlocks adaptability, instinct, and power. Endurance training sharpens focus, resilience, and grit. Together, they create a rhythm of unstoppable energy — on the board, on the bike, and in life.

As a high-performance coach for entrepreneurs and leaders, this is my next evolution:
Energy in motion. Purpose grounded in flow.

What’s your big dream?
It’s calling you for a reason — and it’s time to answer it. 🌊🔥

DM us to elevate your performance, purpose, and flow to the next level ⚡️

High performance isn’t built by force — it’s created through flow.

Surfing always brings me back to that truth. The wave doesn’t ask you to push harder; it asks you to feel deeper — to move with rhythm, precision, and presence. That’s where real power lives — in alignment, not in strain.

Together with .swift, we guide leaders, entrepreneurs, and athletes to find that same state in life and business — where effort meets ease, drive meets intuition, and results unfold naturally from inner alignment.

It’s not just about performance.
It’s about becoming who you’re here to be — fully, freely, and in flow.

Sharing with you… as I evolve…
Something’s shifting.

For a year I chased ultras, 50 to 100k, no pause, no breath between the waves. I loved it. Every sunrise start, every hill, every ounce of grit. But somewhere along the trail, a question started whispering: what now? what’s next?

I’d already become the ultra athlete. That part of me is carved into my bones. Another race, another distance, another finish line wouldn’t change that. Faster? Maybe. Fitter? Sure. But was it helping me grow? Was it lighting me up the way it once did?

The truth is, my heart beats for more than miles. It beats for waves, for wheels on concrete, for the dirt of a trail underfoot, for salt wind tangled in my hair.

Surfing, skating, riding, running — all different, yet the same. They pull me into flow, into presence, into joy. They remind me that movement isn’t just discipline, it’s play. That strength is more than endurance, it’s freedom.

So I’m pivoting. Not away, but deeper. Back to the sea, back to the soul stoke that started it all. This summer it’s about balance, joy, connection. Art and sport. Breath and movement. Grit and light.

The big goals will come again. Maybe it’s the Maldives. Maybe biking through France. Maybe another ultra. I don’t know yet. But I trust myself to follow what feels alive, to choose the path that grows me, to ride the line where love and challenge meet.

Because this is what flow is — catching the wave, carving the line, letting life move through you.

Still buzzing from Sydney! ✨

Watching Skye take the stage at The Sydney Opera House alongside some of the world’s top leaders—JT Foxx, Jack Cowin, Mark Bouris, Bill McGowan, Lee Hunter—was nothing short of magic.

As her business partner (and biggest fan), seeing her brilliance, heart, and purpose light up a room like that is pure joy. She shines in every way—radiating alignment, clarity, and the kind of energy that moves people deeply.

The work we share—optimising mind, body, and health—goes far beyond performance. It’s about real transformation, and the ripple effect is limitless. Together, we get to help people unlock who they truly are, from New Zealand to anywhere in the world.

Skye, you are extraordinary. 🌊💫 And I feel so lucky to create, build, and dream alongside you.

If you’re ready to step into your own alignment, purpose, and power—the journey starts here. Let’s flow forward together.

Still buzzing from Coastal Grit & Wild Light 💙🌊

Thank you for holding such a beautiful space — and to everyone who came, supported, and shared the vibe, you made it unforgettable.

Art, like sport, is pure movement. When I paint, it feels like running trails, catching waves, carving lines — rhythm, flow, surrender. Sport taught me resilience, art teaches me vulnerability — together they remind me that life is meant to be felt, lived, and shared in motion.

Here’s to grit, wild light, and the flow that connects us all. ✨

✨ Coastal Grit & Wild Light ✨

Tomorrow’s the day 🌊💙
The walls are alive with the ocean’s pulse, the Matakana Collection finally hanging in its new home at The Farmer’s Daughter.

Every piece carries the rhythm of this coastline — the tides, the trails, the light that shifts over the sea and hills. It’s been such a journey to pour my heart into this work, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

Join us for an afternoon of art, community, and live acoustic music by Chris Bates. Come feel the flow, the grit, and the wild light that inspired this collection.

✨ I can hardly wait to share this… ✨

This Saturday, the Matakana Collection will finally be unveiled — a body of work born from salt spray mornings, trail runs at Tāwharanui, cool surfs at Omaha, and the deep pull of this coastline I now call home.

Each piece carries the rhythm of this place — emerald tides, navy depths, sunlit sands — woven with movement, poetry, and flow. They’re as much about feeling as they are about seeing. About that breath between waves, the line we ride, the magic in connection.

Join me as I open this collection for the very first time at Coastal Grit & Wild Light — a soulful afternoon of art, music, and community.

📅 Saturday, Augus 30

Exhibition time ✨
Showcasing…..

The Matakana Collection is a love letter to the rugged beauty and quiet magic of New Zealand’s east coast. Each piece is infused with the raw textures of wind and tide, the shifting dance of light on water, and the grounded strength of the land. Inspired by the meeting points where ocean swells kiss rocky headlands, and where soft dawns break over resilient shorelines, this body of work captures both the grit that shapes us and the light that calls us forward.

This exhibition celebrates the coastal spirit: bold yet tender, weathered yet luminous. It’s for those who have stood with salt spray on their skin, who have watched sunlight shatter on the sea, and who know that beauty often lives in the spaces where grit meets grace.

See you Saturday at

Thank you for the beautiful feature ✨
Feeling deeply grateful to be part of a creative community that celebrates the grit, colour, and heart of this place we call home.

The Matakana Collection is taking shape — emerald sweeps, deep navy currents, flashes of turquoise and amethyst. Each piece is an echo of the land and sea around me: the white sands of Omaha, the rugged edges of Ti Point, the rolling trail lines of Tawharanui.

These new works are a dance between movement and stillness, mountain and wave — lines carved like snowboarding down a static slope, and rhythms ridden like the ocean’s song. The kind of pieces you can look at every day and still see something new… not because they’ve changed, but because you have.

Here’s to the beauty of connection, the magic of flow, and art that feels like home.

Works can be viewed online to purchase - link in bio ✨
