PROFILE
Lana Papke was born and raised on the island of Kauai. Her love of the outdoors and all water sports takes her to all ends of the island and throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
Winner takes all: “The first time I stood up on a surfboard, I was two years old,” says Lana, a 23-year-old native of Hawaii. “Right now I know I can enter and win most competitions, but I’m letting some of the younger girls have their turn.”
Play hard, party hard: “I love guys who show no fear in the ocean. It’s a real turn-on for me.”
No fear: “I know my life is on the line every day I go out there. I remember getting held under by a wave, and when I tried to swim for the top I ended up swimming to the bottom,” Lana says. “I really thought I was going to die.”
Surf’s up: “Every girl has stories about getting hit by a wave and losing her bikini. But it’s no big deal. If there are guys around, then I guess it’s just their lucky day. My trick is to always wear a thong that can’t fall off. Plus, there are no ugly tan lines.”
