Professional surfer Megan Abubo remembers catching her first wave in Waikīkī. She moved here from Connecticut as a child and went on to become one of the top women surfers in the world. She has tallied six Association of Surfing Professionals World Championship Tour wins and in 2001 took the World Champion runner-up title. Abubo splashed onto the big screen when she surfed as a stunt double in "Blue Crush," and she's been featured in Rolling Stone and Fitness.

Three years ago, she returned to her home break on the North Shore and won the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.

Today the 32-year-old continues to shred waters and serves as Roxy Quiksilver's spokeswoman for Keep A Breast, which raises money for breast cancer research through an art auction of decorated breast casts of female athletes and artists. Abubo's sister is a two-time breast cancer survivor.
