Profile for Alana Blanchard

ablanchard Action Sports Athlete

Perhaps the most visible female surfer/model in the world today, Kauai�s Alana Blanchard enjoyed a fruitful amateur career and put in several years on the World Surf League Women�s Championship Tour, 2009-2014, before veering away from full-time competition to pursue endeavors as a traveling freesurfer. Truthfully, she�s gained far more international acclaim as a social media sensation than as a pro surfer. Since gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated�s iconic Swimsuit Issue, her Instagram account has exploded with 1.7 million followers, and it�s growing every day. Alana has only surfed in two Qualifying Series events this season, but has been jet-setting and shredding nonstop, with topnotch photographers and filmmakers recording her every move.
