In just her second season on the top-tier World Surf League Championship Tour (CT), Caroline Marks finished 2019 as the No. 2 surfer in the world. Marks's incredible year of surfing, which included two contest wins, also secured her spot on Team USA for the Olympics (a lifelong dream of hers), and she's followed it up with another big CT victory in 2021. The 19-year-old's explosive style makes her a serious contender for Olympic gold.
