Hey! My name is Alana Rene Blanchard. I was born at my house on the beautiful island of Kauai. My dad taught me how to
surf when I was around 4 years old at the Hanalei Pier. I was 9 years old when I started competing and since then, I have been
surfing my way around the world.
I love going to new places, making new friends and surfing new waves. It’s pretty important that I stay fit and healthy when I am
travelling so I like finding cool places to workout, the best local produce to eat and of course, great places to go shopping - I figure
that walking while shopping is exercise too ;)
But most of all, after a long trip away, I love landing back in Hawaii. It’s the perfect place to hideaway, spend time with my family and
surf some uncrowded secret spots.
I feel so lucky to be able to pursue a professional career doing something that I love so much, and without the support from my parents
and sponsor’s it would never have happened. So, thanks for joining me and following my blog, tweets and pictures; here’s to many more
bikinis and adventures!
