If there was ever a living personification of surf, sand and sun, it’s definitely Laura Enever. With her long, blonde tresses and bronzed, toned bod, the 25-year-old is the epitome of a beach babe. The Sydney local doesn’t just look the part either. With surfing titles like the Triple Crown Rookie of The Year and World Jr Champion under her belt, it’s safe to say Laura knows her way around the waves. She shows no signs of stopping either, as she’s set to compete in her sixth WSL Women’s World Tour in Hawaii this month!
Laura is as passionate about staying fit outside the water as she is in. When she’s not carving it up, you’ll find her cross-training or doing Pilates at her local studio. But it’s not all work and no play for the surfer chick: she’s partial to chocolate and a cheeky margarita from time to time!
