Before the Wave: At Home with Pro Surfer Alana Blanchard I Cariuma Surf

You know Alana Blanchard. You love Alana Blanchard, in all her multitudes: pro surfer, mother, vegan chef, women’s surfing advocate, model, vlogger and seemingly effortless social media star. The secret to her multi-hyphenate success is that there is no secret. She’ll tell you it was an early, natural love of beach culture and surfing—passed down from Dad, starting with her first wave off Hanalei Pier at just 4 years old—that made her who she is today. In this dispatch from home on Kauai, Alana shares her current surfing motivations (as in, what keeps those signature frontside carves so damn sharp), her thoughts on Mother Nature, motherhood, and why our partnership is about so much more than sneakers.

More on Alana Blanchard:
Pro Surfer Alana Blanchard is known for the artful way she approaches each wave and her stylish frontside carves. She’s beloved as a model and social media personality, organically growing a dedicated 100K+ following on YouTube, documenting life at home on Kauai. The vlog series, featuring partner Jack Freestone and their son, Banks, highlights their surfing, travel, vegan/farm-to-table lifestyle, and all the ways they pass on a shared love of the ocean to their son, Banks. (Mom & Dad are currently teaching him how to surf!)

More on Cariuma:
At CARIUMA, style, comfort and sustainability are synonymous. We’re all about making our footwear in a way that’s better for the planet and all its people. In 2020, we took the brand’s consciousness a step further and started our own in-house Reforestation Program. For every pair of sneakers purchased, we plant a pair of trees in the Brazilian rainforest. We also have an incredible roster of like-minded surfers who are helping us push forward even more: Our surf team includes: Italo Ferreira, Kai Lenny, Jamie O’Brien, Kelia Moniz, Jack Freestone, Alana Blanchard, and Chippa Wilson.
