I didn't feel so bad about trying to surf in
front of all the other people because it seemed
like everyone else out there was just as much of
a kook as I was.

HOLLY
BECK BIO |
Holly Beck first picked up a
surfboard in 1995 while she was on a
family vacation in Waikiki, Hawaii.
Her mom wasn't too impressed because
she thought surfing was dangerous,
but Holly loved the sport and she
began practicing when she returned
to California. Holly Beck borrowed
an old board from her uncle and
started riding waves every day at 4
am at a beach near her house. She
later joined her high school surf
team and in her first year won the
Bay League Championship. In 1996,
Holly Beck began surfing in the
National Scholastic Surfing
Association and won titles in the
open and explorers division. Her
success with the NSSA gave Holly
some big time exposure
and got her sponsored by the world's
biggest surfboard maker - Rusty
Surfboards.
The only thing better than a girl
that's a great surfer is a hot girl
that's a great surfer. Holly Beck's
combo of major babeness and serious
boardness has allowed her to start a
very successful modelling career.
She's now done model/surf shoots in
Mexico, Hawaii, and California and
has been featured in Teen People and
Rolling Stone. In 2003, Holly Beck
starred in the WB show, Boarding
House: North Shore, a reality TV
show about a group of surfers living
together and competing in the Vans
Triple Crown of Surfing.
Along with surfing, Holly Beck is
also working hard at UCLA where she
studies something called management
science. Holly Beck hopes to keep
modelling and begin a career in
television journalism. Holly even
finds time to pass her surfing
skills on to her ten year-old sister
who has already started hitting the
waves. Holly Beck thinks her sister
could become an even better surfer
than she is one day.
