Hi, I'm Kellyani Flores, I'm only 13 years old and I'm first of all grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to be chosen by the ISA in cooperation with Olympic Solidarity for the Continental Youth Athlete Development Program for the Americas. Thank you I am also happy to be able to represent my country Venezuela in this Isa Junior World Cup in El Salvador. I want you to know that the majority of Venezuelans who surf are athletes with very low resources. However, I believe that God will always provide for us so that we can continue giving our best and be able to ride the waves in Kelly Slater's pool, for example. . run in the wsl and become an olympic athlete of surfing. I would like the ISA to help me obtain my American visa as an athlete, for me and my mother my manager and to be able to surf in Hawaii... for two there is nothing impossible so I think so thank .

I was born in Florida, and I learned to surf in Cuyagua and Anare in Venezuela, I spent every summer and every winter there, it's paradise. 


In South Florida, where I lived, there were barely waves, I usually jumped to the Ocean with my trainer, close to the Cruise Port in Fort Lauderdale, and surfed the waves that the Cruise Ships made.  it was gnarly and fun. 

I surfed Cocoa Beach, New Smyrna and Jupiter Beach local competitions, and won many of them so it was time to make a change and my father moved to Costa Rica. 

Since I was 10 years old, I would stay the majority of the year in Costa Rica and Nicaragua to be able to surf every day. Then at 13, I became National Champion in Costa Rica.  

During the pandemic I moved to California and then competed in the NSSA, Junior SouthAmerican circuits and International Rip Curl Grom Search. 

At 16 I started to compete in the WSL South American Region, ISA Juniors and ISA World. And I keep training between Brasil, Central America and California. 

I invite everybody to surf in South America, there are many beautiful places and warm happy people! 

I am so excited to be representing Venezuela in the ISA World Surfing Games this year. 

Viva Venezuela!

I would like you to know, I stared surfing when I was 3 years old with my dad and my sister, my mom supports us from the shore. When I was 13 years old, I have my first experience in a national competition in 2019, and I won the national contest in open female short board and sub 16 female short board. I am from Venezuela-Carabobo-Puerto Cabello, and I live in front of Waikiki, the beach where I learn to surf and now day we surf there, that is a beach break so good. my hobbies are skate, rollerblading and modeling too. I was champion in national rollerblading. my favorite female surfer is Carissa Moore
