Born into a classic Hawaiian surf family, Alessa Quizon is your typical, fun-loving Island girl. Except for one thing, as of 2014 she’s one of the best female surfers in the world. Joining the elite Top 17 on the ASP Women’s World Tour, Alessa is one of only five Hawaiian women on tour. Growing along Oahu’s sacred west side, she recalls her dad taking her and her sister surfing for the first time when she was a seven-year-old keiki. Three years later she was entered into the Rell Sunn memorial contest at Makaha, and like that a competitive fire was lit.
