The overarching theme in the submissions was one of happiness, excitement and adventure. A select group of ROXY representatives and professional athletes chose three exceptionally creative and inspiring girls to live the dream of a ROXY girl. Katie McLean (Santa Barbara, CA), Emilie Layla Lovaine (Wales, UK), and Madison Setiawan (Bali, Indonesia) have captivated the attention of fans around the world. The girls will be attending the ROXY Pro Biarritz, a major surf contest and beach festival occurring July 10-14. The girls will also have the opportunity to join ROXY on a second surprise trip later this year, receive up to $5,000 USD and surf with world-class ROXY athletes.
Though the winners are from different locales, they share a similar stoke and love for the water, arts and fashion. Americas winner Katie McLean describes herself as being "infused with a love for surf and street cultures and a desire to create [her] own path." Her expression spans from art to fashion to singing. Also a musician, ROXY's European winner Emilie Lovaine sees life as "one great adventure." ROXY's Asia-Pacific winner Madison Setiawan encourages girls everywhere to "dare to dream."
