Quotes by Caroline Marks

A huge goal of mine as a surfer, especially as a female surfer, is to really push the sport. To be the girl that pushed the progression of women’s surfing. I want to be the next generation that is pushing the sport and leading the way, surfing bigger waves, getting barrelled more, and doing airs.
