Coco Ho comes from surfing royalty, but living off the cachet of her family name is not how Coco rolls. She’s confident in who she is as an individual, and she’s using her light to encourage others.

From landing her first sponsorship at the age of eight to becoming the youngest female to qualify for the World Surf League Women’s World Tour at 17, Coco has deftly carved out a serious name for herself in the world of competitive surfing. That winning spirit exists in stark contrast to Coco’s insanely approachable and bubbly personality. Her larger-than-life social persona isn’t a front—she really is that Dope.
