Profile for Nikki Van Dijk

nvandijk Action Sports Athlete

In a cruel turn of events, most surf fans first got to know Nikki Van Dijk at the 2014 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach when she got smashed in the face by her board during an early-morning free surf then suplexed the inside reef during her heat with Carissa Moore. Lucky things have been on the up and up since then. Most recently she's coming off of a win at the Los Cabos Open, where she defeated a red hot Silvana Lima in the final. Hailing from Philip Island, Australia, Van Dijk is the 2012 WSL World Junior Champion and qualified for the big leagues in time for the start of the 2014 season. Tough as nails and getting more seasoned with every passing event, more and more the young Aussie is proving to be quite a dangerous competitor.
