Hawaiian surfer Coco Ho has joined the Skullcandy team.
Coco Ho comes from Hawaiian surfing royalty, but living off the cachet of her family name is not how she rolls. From landing her first sponsorship at 8, to becoming the youngest female to qualify for the World Surf League Women’s World Tour at 17, Coco Ho has been deftly, and successfully carving out a name for herself in the world of competitive surfing. That winning spirit exists in in stark contrast to Coco’s insanely chill and always-smiling personality though. Her larger than life social persona isn’t a front—she really is that stoked on life.
