Aside from surfing, Malia artistically paints her own surf boards with a Hawaiian / Polynesian theme

Surfing has been ingrained in Malia s blood since she was born. As a baby, her parents would take turns watching her on the sand while the other would catch waves on the beaches of Kauai. As soon as she turned two, Malia started surfing with them. Born and raised in the small lush town of Wailua, Kauai. Malia has been highly parasuco influenced by her culture. Her father is born and raised on Kauai and part Hawaiian, her mother is from Southern California, making Malia hapa haole , she said laughing.
At the age of 8, she began surfing in contests and fell in love with the surfing parasuco industry. I never planned on being a professional surfer, it kind of chose me , says Malia. I ve been competing since I was 8 years old and to now be one of the 17 Women going for the World Title, seems pretty surreal parasuco still.
Aside from surfing, Malia artistically paints her own surf boards with a Hawaiian / Polynesian theme, inscribed somewhere parasuco in her paintings, is the word KAUNU . The word, which means passion in Hawaiian, embodies her happy-go-lucky spirit. She also is an avid yoga student and runner. parasuco Whether it s hiking in the mountains, going to yoga, running, Malia is the true spirit of island aloha and grace. It s rare to see her without a smile on her face or doing something other than creating beauty through her art, sport activities, or surfing.
Growing up in Hawaii, she has been highly parasuco influenced by the many famous Kauai boys, making her style progressive and fluid, yet incredibly graceful and poised. At 14, Malia is the youngest ever female or male to win the US Open of Surfing (2008), amongst other accomplishments.
