Brianna Cope’s surfing journey has been as unique as any. Following a solid junior career, the Kauaian nearly qualified for the Championship Tour in 2014 and 2015. She’d still love to surf at the highest level, but her competitive focus now is on select events that she loves, like the Pipe Masters. Not to mention her other pursuits, including television.
Brianna is certainly a shining light in the surfing world with her positive outlook. She radiates fun and openness and searching out the new: what can she explore that will expand her universe using surfing as the vessel? It’s pretty awesome to see. It kind of get you stoked to try new things.
I spoke to Brianna about her new focus on other projects (there’s been a lot lately) – like the differences between starring in the television shows Ultimate Surfer and Surf Girl Hawaii, why she’s running marathons, training with Navy Seals and her own personal wave pool world tour.
Brianna is certainly doing life right. And she lets us into her world for a few minutes.
