Caroline Marks competes in Swatch Women’s Pro

The night before the start of the Swatch Women’s Pro, 13-year-old Caroline Marks was told she would be surfing the next morning in her first ‘CT event, against the most talented female surfers in the world—and that she would be the youngest woman ever to do so.

Marks stopped by the SURFER office after bowing out to Tyler Wright in round two to talk about her recent amateur success, surfing against her heroes, and why she’s earned the moniker “Occy-line”.
