We were super pumped when Maika Monroe popped into our office for a chat. She’s a rising star in both the kiteboarding and acting worlds. Yeah, kiteboarding AND acting. We know. How did she have time to hang out with us? THAT we don’t know.

Maika gave it to us straight about playing Zac Efron‘s love interest in an upcoming movie (spoiler alert: it was awesome!), what makes her nervous and what she always wanted to be when she grew up. It wasn’t a kiteboarding actress, believe it or not. Check out our convo below:

Do you know what kiteboarding is? Would you be nervous to act with Zac Efron? Tell us in the comments.
