Meet big-wave surfing's next beautiful badass, Emi Erickson. The North Shore local charges winter swells at Waimea, and her favorite break at Sunset Beach, O'ahu. Instead of the typical progression of learning to longboard, her family roots gave her the confidence to start surfing only 7 years ago at 10 ft Sunset. This season, she explored cold waters in the Pacific during one of the heaviest swells Maverick's has seen in years on December 20th, 2014. 

Supported by Wickr Super Sessions, the female big-wave scene has progressively broken barriers. And at 25-years-old with family roots in big-wave surfing, Emi is one to watch. Introducing the XXL Big Wave Awards 2015 Women's Performance nominee.
