Caroline Marks on her ambitious goals and the progression of women's surfing

“I'm also not going to stop pushing forward and not going to stop working towards those goals. So why not say it out loud and go for it?” In September 2023, Caroline Marks arguably reached her potential by winning the world championship title on the World Surfing League’s championship tour. At just 21 years-old, and with seven years on the pro circuit clocked, it seemed like clinching the world title was only a matter of time for the young goofy-foot.
