At the age of nine, Erickson[1] moved to the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. When she was 11, at Sunset Beach with her family, she picked up a board and paddled out. She got her first wave all the way in. After that, she began surfing everyday. At the age of 14, Erickson moved to Ventura, California, where she currently resides. She started her competitive surfing career when she was 14. She dominated the NSSA and Pro Junior circuits, and in 2012, at age 21, she qualified for the Women's Association of Professional Surfing ASP,[2] which is now called the World Surf League.
