Alana Blanchard, 32 – Hawaii, United States

There are world-renowned surfers, and there are models. But Alana Blanchard from Hawaii is both. As a four-year-old girl, she was introduced to the world of surfing by her father. Her progress was evident as five years later, she was competing professionally.

Blanchard’s modeling career began in 2004 when she began partnering with “Rip Curl Swimwear.” As compelling proof of her success, she’s also won many championships throughout her career, including the Women’s Pipeline Championships in Hawaii and the Billabong Pro Pre Trails in Hookipa, Maui. In 2021, Blanchard and her fiance welcomed a son.

Gold fell in love with skating as an eight-year-old girl, and soon enough, she began training with coaches Amy Vorhaben and Max Liu. And apart from being a two-time U.S. national champion, she has also won the Word team trophy twice. In 2022, she made an appearance at the U.S. Championships.

In her first year of college at the University of California, Berkeley, she broke the school record for a first-year athlete. And once she was done with her degree, Stokke continued to pole vault professionally. She also did a spot of modeling for brands like “Athleta,” “Nike” and “Uniqlo.” In 2021, she gave birth to her daughter, Maya.
