The young surfer Brisa Hennessy, who has become a beacon of hope through the ocean waves, at only 24 years old, has managed to position herself among the best surfers in the world, not only for her great ability, but also for her resilience, passion and commitment to the environment.

Born on September 16, 1999 in Matapalo, Costa Rica, where pristine beaches and impeccable waves for surfing are its main feature, Hennessy developed a deep connection with the sea since she was a child.

The lush nature that surrounded her and the influence of her parents fostered her inclination towards surfing.

Her journey into the sport at a professional level began at an early age. At the age of 15, she was already competing in the junior circuit, where her talent was quickly recognized.

Her perseverance led her to qualify for the Championship Tour (CT) of the World Surf League (WSL) in 2019, where she has competed against the best surfers in the world.

Among her most notable achievements are a series of podium finishes in international competitions and her historic qualification for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, where she represented Costa Rica and stole the hearts of the public.
