Veteran surf sensation, Serena Brooke, is answering the Who? What? Where? Why? And How? from the GO211 community as she wraps up her 14th season on the prestigious WCT. Ask this native Australian and do-er of all things good anything and everything about changing the world one pair of Crocs at a time, raising money and awareness for needy children around the globe and oh yeah surfing the best breaks in the world with the best surfers in the world, fire away she's all yours.....

I would say that they are funny for a theme or joke one of the guys from fuel i know just grew one to look like Tom Selleck he rocks it pretty well, but personally i am not into facial hair, but hey some girls love it!

Well when i was growing up Wendy Botha was my biggest role model when i was like 16 years old. These days i don't really have one role model so to speak i am inspired by countless people mostly just regular people living their truth with integrity.

Sally Fitzgibens, Carrisa Moore, leilani Gryde, there are so many new girls coming up that are ripping!

If I never picked up a surfboard, I would probably be in some other sport skateboarding, or wake boarding I started surfing at 14 so I didn't really have too many other goals picked out yet. The fact that the talent is awesome and getting harder is what keeps me competitive it's not too hard.

No I don't have any pets, i would like to but i am not home very much so i don't think it would be fair to have one right now.

Well I think my looks are pretty average so maybe its my personality that has helped me!

yeah there board shorts for the girls! ha when i first started there were no girls surf brands yet! there is some things that are better and some things that are worse in the way or location and events.

People would say my greatest accomplishment is finishing runner up to the world title twice and being on tour for 14 years, I would say my greatest accomplishment would be living my dreams whilst spreading love and smiles to people i meet all around the world.

My influences in surfing range from my friends on tour to a random free-surfer i will watch, then to the latest surf movies. Influences in my life, i don't really have a certain person its more of a general influence of a lot of people i watch and learn from that also ranges from someone i meet in a poor country that does not even surf to my family and closest friends.

I went to Peru to do the WCT event, but whilst i was there i decided to do some charity work too, I am an ambassador for a charity named Plan i was with World Vision for over 10 years and sponsored 3 kids with them but i wanted to be part of an organization that was not part of the catholic church or any churches and where all the money went to the kids not on advertising and paying big CEOs wages. So i switched to Plan, I sponsor a child through them, Miguel in Lima and went an visited him and his village, an hour inland from Lima, I worked with my sponsor CROCS to donate a bunch of shoes to the village and i did a similar thing in Cuzco at the orphanage, a bunch of the girls off the WCT wanted to go Machu Pichu before the contest and i was already in Lima with Miguel and so we went to an all girls orphanage on the way and filmed with fuel and gave away stuff to the kids, they were super stoked and we were super stoked to do it.

Surfboards, laughs, friends, love, change.

I think the tour is at the worst place it has been in a while don't get me started..ha!, i have mixed feelings the pros are surfing good waves and locations with the men's events but the cons of that are sharing the waiting period and the waves with them. The tour is SO different now, i feel bad for the girls just coming on now, when i started we had WCT events in great waves, J Bay, Narabeean, Portugal, Tahiti, Tavarua, even ones in Japan with better waves then what i have been surfing this year, its been small windy waves all year on tour, in Peru i surfed a heat at 630-am then one again at 6:30pm against Layne Beachley and it was practically dark... besides being windy and 1 foot! it was the first day of the waiting period the next day they moved an event that was not even mobile to a pumping left and all of the girls who lost in the 3rd round and didn't even get to really surf just had to suck it up that's what is happening on the "dream tour" right now...... i think it is the make it up as you go along grovel tour ha!

The new young girls just doing airs and charging really hard the women's surfing is progressing tons it just need a tour to reflect that with some decent waves.
