42-Year-Old World Surf Champ Lisa Andersen to Compete Again
By Steve Casimiro, Adventure Journal on February 15th, 2012
Taking a page out of Kelly Slater’s playbook, former world champion Lisa Andersen is returning to competitive surfing in the Moskova Trials in Australia on February 24 in hopes of earning a slot in the Roxy Pro, which begins the next day. Four-time world champ Andersen, who hasn’t surfed competitively in eight years, will turn 43 on March 8. “The Roxy Pro is such a great start to the competition year,” Andersen said. “It’s a big perk to be involved…I can’t wait to get my feet wet and to catch some Aussie waves.” Via SurfGirl.
