My name is Maimiti, I was born on Tahiti, French Polynesia where my father is from. Since I am 5 years old I live in Colombia on a tiny remote island of the Carribean where I get to surf a perfect empty reef break. I've been surfing since little and traveling to many places with my mom who also surfs but only this year I started competing on the national Colombian circuit. It is a great honor for me to have this opportunity to compete here in El Salvador due to my very small competition experience. I want to keep surfing great waves all over but also train hard to get a lot more experience competing and within a few years I'd love to be on the podium of a world junior comp like this one.

Born in Medellin, Colombia but moved to Redondo Beach California at a young age. My dad is a cinematographer for the WSL and a few years ago introduced me to Stephanie Gilmore and Tatiana Weston-Webb. I hadn't surfed much but after Tati took me for a surf in Huntington beach for a womens rising tides event at the US Open I was total inspired to become a professional surfer. Now my future goals are to persue my dream of someday competing in the Olympics for Colombia.
