PACIFIC COAST · ATHLETE PROFILE

THE BOY WHO BELONGS TO THE OCEAN

LUIS ALVAREZ

Some people are made for the spotlight. Luis Alvarez just happens to be made for the ocean, too.

At twenty-one, Luis is a professional surfer with Cuban roots, a California upbringing, and a competitive streak that makes losing to him irritating and beating him twice in a row a particularly bad idea.

Confident, flirtatious, and effortlessly social, Luis enjoys a little attention. He knows how to work a camera, charm a room, and hold eye contact just long enough to make someone forget what they were saying. Beneath the easy swagger, though, is an athlete who takes his craft seriously, hates wasting his potential, and feels every loss more deeply than he lets on.

A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT HIM

"I don't have an attitude. You're just confusing confidence with a personal problem."

— LUIS, PROBABLY

SALTWATER IN HIS VEINS · TROUBLE ON SHORE

LIFE BETWEEN THE WAVES

BEYOND THE SURFACE

His life revolves around early mornings, saltwater, training sessions, competition travel, and home in Malibu. Between surf sessions, he spoils his Golden Retriever, Coco, drives along the coast with the windows down, and maintains a skincare routine more organized than most people's entire lives.

THE THINGS HE DOESN'T BRAG ABOUT

Luis is generous without making a show of it, fiercely loyal, and better at noticing someone else's bad day than explaining his own. He remembers little things, shows up when it matters, and disguises genuine concern behind an offhand remark or an annoyingly casual grin.

AND THEN THERE'S THE PROBLEM

HIS BIGGEST PROBLEM?

He's stubborn, a terrible loser, and far too accustomed to being liked. He's learned how to handle powerful waves and competitive pressure, but feelings are a different kind of territory.

Especially the ones he's been carrying for a certain rival for years.
