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.

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.
