Exlcusive Interview from Surfing Magazine
Alana Blanchard 15 yrs old
First Wave: "I don't even remember. It was probably down at Hanalei pier, when I was like, two or something. My dad pushed me into a wave and I ended up at the pier"
First Board: "My first board was a mini-tanker, like 7'0"."
First Pipeline Experience: Just the contest last year. It was fun- a good experience. I think it's really cool to surf Pipe with only four people out and to get a chance to surf it with all those girls."
First Crush: "Probably when I was in, like, kindergarten or first grade or something.
First thing you do in the morning: "Put on my bathing suit"
First good result: "My first contest was a longboard contest at Pinetrees. I got fourth"
First time you were scared in a contest: "At Sunset when I was, like 12- an NSSA contest. To me, it was big and all the girls were outside trying to catch waves."
First thing you do on a Saturday:"Wake up and go surfing with my friends."
First spot you check when you're home: "Pinetrees. It's like, 10 minutes away from my house."
First surfer you looked up to: "My dad."
Favorite Wave: "Hanalei Bay."
The worst you've ever been worked: "At this place called Middles. It's a left into the bay, and it's really gnarly. Me and my friend Bethany got caught inside- oh no- wait- I think it was just me and I was all alone and got spun all around and stuff."
First surfer you ever wanted to be like: "Rochelle Ballard, because she's really good and she, like, charges."
First time you got in trouble: "When I was five. I stole money from my parents. I just liked money; I liked having it. My parents saw that their money was all gone and then they saw that I had it."
