Ella es una dura del Surfing. De hecho, vive del Surfing, más allá de haber comenzado como un hobby, luego un deporte y ahora una carrera profesional.

Kayla Durden, natural de la costa sureste de los Estados Unidos, viene a competir en marzo a Puerto Rico en un evento internacional. Se trata de la 34ta edición del Corona Pro Surf, del 15 al 17 de marzo en la playa Domes en Rincón.

La atleta de Jacksonville Beach, Florida ya ha ganado anteriormente esta competencia en olas puertorriqueñas, por lo que está sumamente familiarizada con la costa oeste de la Isla.

La graduada de University of North Florida, con un bachillerato en Mercadeo y un 'minor' en Español, está balanceándose sobre tablas y olas desde los 5 añitos...

Kayla es una digna embajadora para el turismo en Puerto Rico, sin ser de "aquí", gracias a su amor y respeto por el deporte y por los boricuas.

What was your motivation to start a sports career in surfing?

» KAYLA DURDEN «

"I first starting surfing because my older brother surfed and I wanted to do everything he did. I just did it for fun but then I won my first local pro event at 14 and realized I could actually make money doing what I love."

How popular and respected is Women’s Surfing in your state?

» KAYLA DURDEN «

"Women’s surfing is slowly but surely becoming more respected in the US. There are so many good surfers that have come from the east coast (where I live) as well as California. It’s an exciting time to be a female surfer."

Are the money and awards even for women and men in international surfing?

» KAYLA DURDEN «

"This year is the first year with equal pay. The Corona Pro in Puerto Rico was the first event I have ever done with equal pay and it really drew a much larger field for the women. I think it will encourage more girls to compete."
