This year, the selection was easy. There’s no question that when she first joined SL in 2012 and shortly thereafter in her first mini-competition on Solace Dreams, that she was hooked on SL surfing. After quite a bit of encouragement, she threw her hat in the ring in 2013 to become one of the longest serving Directors for the SL Surfing Association. In that role, she has not only worked tirelessly to provide the surfing competitions for which the SLSA is known, but also selflessly promoted surfing in general, another one of the SLSA missions.
With great pleasure, the SurfWatch Editor’s Pick for Person of the Year for 2017 is Petra Xaris!!

Congratulations Petra, thoroughly deserved!
I came across this page taking a walk down memory lane. It's now May 2024. For the first time I'm seeing these comments regarding me receiving this award, and I'm touched by them. I know I'm replying a lot late but thank you to Nash, Tauri and Sally for your kind words!
