Winning the @wsl Rookie Of The Year Award and the @wsl Impact Award were dreams come true. I wanted to share an excerpt from my speech recognizing those who impacted me in ways they might not even have realized:
âJohn John Florence gave me $500 for having the best grades while I was competing in NSSA. That was my very first paycheck in surfing. Honestly, it wasnât even about the money⊠it was getting to meet John personally that made that moment so meaningful.
Carissa MooreâIâll never forget being invited to your Moore Aloha Girls Camp. That experience meant so much to me and helped shape my love for both the sport and the community around it. You showed me that greatness isnât just about performanceâitâs about how you lift others up.
Stephanie GilmoreâI was so nervous to say hi to you the first time I saw you in Maui. But you were so friendly and genuine, and you showed me that taking a moment to be kind and present can leave a lasting impression.
Italo FerreiraâI posted a video of a barrel when I was 12 years old. You didnât know me, but you shared it on your Instagram and even sent me a direct message. That encouragement meant more to me than you could imagine. You showed me that encouragement doesnât have to be big to be powerfulâa simple message can go a long way.
And Lakey Petersonâyour character and kindness showed in one of your toughest moments. I watched you lose a heat that ended your title run and Olympic hopes. You came out of the water, saw me, and said, âYouâre the little girl out here every morning, arenât you?â I said yes⊠and you handed me your board and said, âI want you to have this.â That board was too big for me thenâand itâs probably still too big for me nowâbut it will always have a place in my boardroom. Iâll never forget that moment, and youâre the reason I now give boards away to young surfers every year.
Lastly, I want to thank the @wsl for creating platforms like Rising Tides and One Ocean, and for giving us the opportunity to connect with and inspire the next generation.â
