San Clemente’s Brooke Stephens, a soon-to-be-senior at JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, qualified for the 2024 USA Surfing Championships lineup, riding yet another wave of success in her rising surfing journey.
“It feels surreal,” Stephens said. “I would have never imagined this when I started surfing, that it could have taken me this far. To get the opportunity to surf against some of the best surfers in Under 18 in the world and just to surf alongside such amazing people is something I’m so excited to do.”
