(1) The talent and drive of surfer Lisa Andersen quickly propelled her to the top of her sport. (2) In 1983, thirteen-year-old Andersen paddled a friend’s surfboard into the ocean off the coast of Florida’s Ormond Beach, caught a breaking wave, and easily rode it to shore. (3) Thrilled to discover this natural talent, she realized that she might have the potential to become a serious female surfer. (4) Soon, in hopes of gaining a competitive edge, she began practicing with only her most skilled male counterparts. (5) In 1987, this strategy paid off when she won the U.S. amateur women’s surfing contest. (6) Later that year, Lisa turned professional; by 1992, she was winning major competitions and training for the world championship. (7) Almost immediately, however, news that she was pregnant put any plans to win the 1993 championship on hold. (8) Andersen says that although it cost her one year’s title, the birth of her daughter Erica motivated her to go all the way to the top. (9) In 1994, Lisa was crowned world surfing champion, a title she won again in 1995, 1996, and 1997. (10) Today, the four-time winner is credited with inspiring a generation of young women to enter the once male-dominated world of surfing.
