She is easy to spot in her multi-colored wetsuit, just look outside.

The petite seventeen year old seems fearless in the water. We will see this winter when the big north-west swells are here.

When Emily is not in the water, her time is spent as a student at Morro Bay High School where she will be a senior this fall.

Working part-time at the Brick House BBQ soon to reopen on Main Street keeps a little jingle in the pocket.

One of her favorite rides is her Barker 7’0″ Fun Shape board.

Emily’s future plans are to seek a career in nursing.

But in the water there is no nursing of waves, she is in pure attack mode!

Keep a leash on it, Bob.
