Meet The Rookie: Vahine Fierro - Warrior Mentality at Breaks of Consequence

Joe Turpel talks with the Queen of Tahiti Vahine Fierro about her journey from growing up on a remote island surrounded by perfect reef breaks to competing on the world stage. Vahine shares stories of surfing with friends after school, adapting to colder waters and tougher conditions, and the sacrifices she made to pursue her dream of joining the World Tour. She reflects on the support from her family, coaches, and Tahitian surf community, her excitement for iconic waves like Pipeline, and the deeper meaning behind her jersey number, which honors her loved ones and her homeland. The World Surf League Championship Tour season starting line isn’t drawn in the sand; it starts in the ocean. The Lexus Pipe Pro presented by YETI is the first of eleven regular season events. The North Shore of O`ahu will play host to the top 35 male and 18 female surfers in the world. History will be ridden. The Tour starts at Pipe.
