ASA Athlete

Caroline grew up in Melbourne Beach, Florida where she learned to surf with her brothers when she was 8 years old. In 2014 she made the move to split her time between Florida and California, making the most of San Clemente’s World class waves and year-round surf, helping to improve her technique.
As the youngest surfer selected for the USA National Team, the youngest NSSA Open Women’s Champion and the youngest wildcard competitor in history to score a spot in the 2015 Swatch Women’s Pro at Trestles, it’s easy to understand why Caroline Marks has been dubbed the “Next World Champion.”
