“Trouble at home, trouble at school, trouble with the law, trouble with men…Lisa was, quite literally, a delinquent. One flaky mishap got her locked up in juvie before she was put on house arrest. And that’s where she made her big move: Bail Florida. Go pro. Manifest destiny. She was 16.”
—Surfline
“With her run of world titles in the 1990s, she single-handedly raised the profile of women’s surfing to a global level, shattered stereotypes of female surfers, inspired a whole generation of women to get in the water, and was the face that sold a million board shorts for the Roxy brand.”
—The Orange County Register
“Lisa defined a new era for women’s surfing and changed what men thought of how women surfed.”
—Kelly Slater
“[Lisa Anderson]: ‘In the end, I ran. I slept rough, sometimes under park benches on Newport Beach. There were other times when I would find an empty beach house, wait until nightfall and then crawl up to the verandah and make a cubby hole under my surfboard. I’d have to change my sleeping spot most days. I was so paranoid I used to think that the FBI was on my case.’”
—The Guardian
