Sage Erikson

Biography:

THE HOOK
Sage Erickson is a perfect reflection of her upbringing: part country, part surf, and full of energy. At age 9 her family moved from Ojai, California to the North Shore of Oahu where she quickly taught herself how to surf, inspired by her older brother and dad, both surfers. One day at Sunset Beach, Sage paddled out into the inside section on an old surfboard she found lying in the sand. "I got to my feet on my first wave and rode it all the way to shore. I started surfing two or three times a day after that," said Sage.


HUNGRY FOR MORE
At 14, Sage's Mom enrolled her into a local NSSA contest with the condition that Sage would try the first contest before committing to the entire series. After winning the first stop Sage wanted more. Since then Sage has been tough to beat. She won the NSSA Western Championships eight times and finished 2nd in the 2008 NSSA Nationals for the Open Women's Division. In 2010 she was the US Open Pro Jr Champion followed by a busy 2011, taking 2nd in both the Swatch Girls Pro in France and the Drug Aware Pro in Margaret River, and nabbing 5th in the Billabong Girls Pro in Portugal. Sage finished 4th in the ASP World Qualifying Series, qualifying her for the 2012 ASP Women's World Tour.


THE SPOTLIGHT
Sage's numerous podium finishes and outgoing spirit have made her a sponsor's dream. She loves everything about being a sponsored athlete and being in the spotlight. She is equally comfortable surfing an international contest as she is conducting on-camera interviews or hosting events in front of a crowd full of screaming fans. Sage has also grown to love fashion and enjoys using it to express her personality, taking inspiration from current styles and trends.
