Biography

Luana has been surfing since she was 3 years old. When she’s not tearing up waves, she’s hanging at Sunset Shack with friends, riding her bike along the beachfront, or grabbing a poke bowl at Pupukea Grill. Even though she grew up in paradise, she says Barra De La Cruz in Mexico is her favorite surf spot, and the Arctic is the coolest place she’s ever been. Her achievements include being a 3x USA National Champion, 3x NSSA National Champion, winning two QS events in 2019 at just 15 years old, and starting her rookie year on the Championship Tour. With Pipeline as the opening stop, she might just have the upper hand. She hopes the next generation of surfer girls continues to push the limits. In 2025, she became WSL World Junior Champion.
