O’Neill, the original California surf brand, is thrilled to announce the addition of Maddie Peterson to their surf team. 17-year-old Peterson is an ISA World Junior Medalist, NSSA National Champ, ESPN Athlete of the Week, and 4-time member of the U.S. Surf Team. She is also an ambassador for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and hosts an annual surf camp for the CHOP kids.
Peterson currently splits time between her home in Wildwood Crest, NJ and Orange County, CA where she trains with her coach, Ian Cairns. “I see her as a very talented surfer, extremely fit, with huge potential to be able to compete with the best,” said Cairns about Peterson. “She has a strong drive to become the best surfer she can be.”
“I am so thankful and blessed to become a part of the O’Neill family,” said Peterson. “When you think of solid surf brands O’Neill is the first name that comes to mind. What an exciting new chapter this is going to be. I’m really looking forward to being a proud ambassador of O’Neill around the globe.”
Peterson will be representing O’Neill clothing, activewear and wetsuits, joining top surfers Malia Manuel and Honolua Blomfield, among others. “We are looking forward to a long relationship with Maddie,” said Cedar Carter, Director of Women’s Marketing at O’Neill. “She truly embodies the spirit of O’Neill and we couldn’t be more excited to have her joining our team of talented athletes.”
