Alyssa Spencer

Alyssa is a surf junkie and competitive beast in equal measure. As a teen, she spent almost every weekend competing, sometimes surfing in three local contests leagues, across as many divisions as organizers would allow.

That passionate obsession saw her rise quickly, beating older surfers with a focus which made her look like a veteran already. There’s nothing old about her surfing though.

As part of the new guard, Alyssa’s lightning-fast backhand snap and gutsy approach will break many a heart on the WSL Championship Tour.
