Hi I am Maggie! I started surfing when I was 7 years old in Surf City and Wrightsville Beach. I watched the incredible story of Bethany Hamilton, that changed my life. How she overcame an injury surfing, but it never stopped her dream of surfing really inspired me. I fell in love with the feeling of being free out on the water when I caught my first wave and I was hooked. When you are paddling for a wave, it can sometimes be scary. You don’t know if you will stand up, wipe out or get tangled - but you could have the best wave of your life. Surfing has taught me to not let fear guide my decisions in whatever I want to accomplish. I started competitive surfing at the end of 2022 in push in heats and I loved it! I am having fun competitively surfing now in ESA Mid Atlantic and the National Scholastic Surf Association (NSSA) competitions. I love the ocean and all of it’s power, beauty and the way it makes me feel when I ride a wave. There is something so special about the ocean. I want to help keep our oceans clean and make it an even better place each time I surf. My dream is to be a surfer representing my country on the USA Surf Team and be a surfer for WSL one day. As a military kid, my Dad has shown me, true American Spirit, that I can have courage to overcome any obstacle and to not let fear get in the way of trying. I want to encourage and support young kids to feel safe and learn how to surf, because surfing has brought me so much joy and great friendships. I think being outside in nature and taking care of our oceans is the greatest gift we give ourselves.

My name is Elsa Stinson, I am 14 years old, and i love surfing. I have been surfing for about 4 years, beginning and progressing with mermaid surf, and I am now working as a junior instructor for mermaid surf school. I began working towards short boarding and in the summer of 2024 I decided to start long boarding as well. I surf almost everyday year round improving as much as I can no matter the conditions. While surfing is the best, and definitely one of my favorite things, I also have many other hobbies like scuba diving, snorkeling, jewelry making, and watching and surfing in sunrises at the beach. I am going to begin high school as a freshman this year at Ashley high school in the marine biology program. I have a strong love for the ocean, but also animals. I have a dog, cat, snails, shrimp, and a fish that I love very much. I love to be an ambassador, because I not only enjoy getting cool, good quality clothes and bathing suits, but also supporting awesome surfing brands. I love absolutely every part of surfing, even when the paddling gets painful and the bad wipeouts, but more specifically I love the friendly community, the peacefulness, the stoke of catching a great wave, and the way surfing clears my mind and just makes me happy. My go to quote is “the best surfer out there is the one having the most fun” -Phil Edwards.

My name is Reagan Mills and I am from Myrtle Beach, SC. As a nine year old, I feel so blessed by God to be able to be a surfer. The connections and friends that I have made in the surfing community over the past year have given me courage and self confidence. I want to be a pro surfer and surf beside Caroline Marks. Surfing has become the love of my life. The first time I saw the Carolina Sky Company tent at the Wahine Classic, I had a reason to paddle harder and push myself. I knew I wanted to be a part of their amazing community. Sky is the limit! Here's to girl power!
