Anastasia Ashley
 "There was this one time in Hawaii when this 10-foot wave just came roaring in and I wasn't ready for it at all. It slammed me on the reef and even though it hurt I kept surfing." - Anastasia

Chanelle Sladics
 "I was a weekend warrior no doubt, I was on the mountain every Sunday, doing the USSA events with my good guy friends from high school. My days on the hill were no comparison to my competitors, but I wanted to finish high school. I had to make a lot of sacrifices regarding my social life in high school, in order to start competing." - Chanelle

Kira Sheppard
 "My first time in Hawaii was good for me because I had to learn to be independent and to deal with things as they came up. Also, the waves were so big that it gave me an overall sense of confidence in myself." - Kira

Karina Petroni
 "Girls are way worse than guys. Guys will go be best buds and then it's war in the water and then they're friends again out of the water like nothing happened. Girls freak out and take it to the beach. I grew up surfing against the boys so I learned from them a lot." - Karina

Kristi Leskinen
 "That first year at the Freeskiing Open all of my ski heroes were there. JF Cusson, JP Auclair, Jonny Mosely, I saw what they were doing and right then I knew that was it. I gave up wakeboarding and moved to Mammoth the next winter." - Kristi

Cory Coffey
 She can do it all... mentor the youth, travel the globe, and fight fires. And, yeah, there's that whole 'first female BMXer to land a backflip' thing.

Daize Shayne
 "In high school got cornered all the time by girls wanting to beat me up. I was the white girl in Hawaii. I always hung with the boys because I liked to get dirty and play in the mud. The boys really liked me so the girls got jealous. Now those girls are my best friends." - Daize

Priscilla Levac
 "During high school some friends of mine got me into it. I tried it a few times and got addicted. The next thing you know I was skipping school to go snowboarding a lot. Back then there weren't parks where I lived so there was just riding on little icy mountains in Quebec."

Holly Beck
 "I have always known if I wanted to keep living this lifestyle I needed to take advantage of the fact that I have that look brands are looking for and people associate with surfing." - Holly

Leanne Pelosi
 "My parents got my brother and I this plastic snowboard from a Canadian sports department store. It was super cheesy. They thought it was really dangerous so we weren't allowed on the ski hills, so we would go to the golf course and make jumps." - Leanne

Sarah Burke
 "Guys see me ski and then they don't think I am the same person off the hill as I am on the hill. They think I have been sitting in the lodge all day." - Sarah
