(3) Thrilled to discover this natural talent, she realized that she might have the potential to become a serious female surfer. (4) Soon, in hopes of gaining a competitive edge, she began practicing with only her most skilled male counterparts.

(6) Later that year, Lisa turned professional; by 1992, she was winning major competitions and training for the world championship. (7) Almost immediately, however, news that she was pregnant put any plans to win the 1993 championship on hold.

(9) In 1994, Lisa was crowned world surfing champion, a title she won again in 1995, 1996, and 1997. (10) Today, the four-time winner is credited with inspiring a generation of young women to enter the once male-dominated world of surfing.
