Zoe Evelynn Benedetto

Hi guys, my name is Zoe Benedetto! I was born on the beach and made in the USA. I’m 17 years old and a gold medalist surfer.

For me, surfing isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life. Salt water has run through my veins since the first time I stepped foot in the ocean. I began competing back in 2012, and now I travel the world in search for the next big wave. Having grown up in Florida, beside some of the most stunning coasts, surfing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. The ocean has been like a second home to me. I have always been taught to not only appreciate it but to respect it. When I’m not in the water, I try my best to leave these breathtaking shores better than how I found them so future generations can experience the same beauty that I get to everyday. I have also learned that life is a lot like surfing. Every wave and every day are different. No matter how big or daunting it may appear, jump in and ride the wave. Learning how to harness energy is what got me where I am today.

Wipeouts made me stronger. So hang loose, and see you on the next wave!
