Vahine Fierro

Vahine was born in Tahiti. Growing up extremely close to her family, her parents taught her how to surf when she was just 2! By the age of 5 it was clear that she was gifted. Her two sisters Heimiti and Kohai are also ROXY girls: it’s a family affair!

Vahine started competing late, at the age of 14 because she used to hate contests. Her dad encouraged her, seeing her surf at the same level as competing surfers and she eventually grew to love it. With no high-school in her home island of Huahine, young Vahine had to move to Tahiti at the age of 14, where she started to surf beach break waves, more adapted to competitive surfing. ROXY saw her talent and signed her at the age of 15 as she started to get local results. 

In 2017, she graduated from high-school and ROXY offered her the opportunity to join the Quiksilver boys in Europe to compete in the Juniors. In January 2018, she won the World Junior Championship in Australia, as a wild card, which she still considers the best result of her life.

Her absolute role model is Stephanie Gilmore: “Since she came to my island, I fell in love! Her is a pure, kind champion, I adore her”
