The Krebb Sisters
By Tammi Andersland

Fourteen-year-old Kelci Krebb dominates Oahu’s North shore at Sunset Beach where she lives with her sisters and parents. This ripper shredder has been surfing since she was ten years old and only competing for two of those years. At the age of twelve she began competing and loves the thrill of contests but truly enjoys the thrill of just free surfing. Not only does she shred the waves, she is an outstanding soccer player shredding up the turf of her local field.

Her dad’s buddy called the Krebbs shortly after their arrival on Oahu and told them about this awesome place to surf for his family. He took his buddy’s advice and started surfing at that location with his sons and soon taught his daughters how to surf that spot. Surfing is a major past time for the Krebb family, it is a sport that they all enjoy and they all do very well. As a family of seven, they hit the major surf spots on Oahu enjoying their time together.

Kelci excels in HASA but because of her demanding soccer schedule, she had to take a break from competing in the NSSA this year. She is a High School Freshman and has earned a 3.8 GPA. She loves to read and her favorite books are Lemony Snickett’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Her favorite movies these days are the Harry Potter films. Kelci has a sweet and cheerful disposition and is an outstanding student. She says she tries to get along with all of her siblings but sometimes it is not easy. She is one of four girls and she has three brothers.

Kelci advice to her younger sisters and younger groms, “Sometimes things in life aren’t always easy to get but you should still keep on trying to get them. Just work Hard.” This is great advice from an awesome chick that rips! Kelci has blue eyes, blonde hair, braces and looks like a beautiful surf wahine. She is sponsored by O’neill.

Kendall Krebbs is Kelci’s younger sister. This twelve year old competes too and learned how to surf when she was eight years old. In seventh grade she loves living on the North Shore but gets a little aggroed when all of the “Big Names” come to town for the big competitions. “The place gets so crowded and it is hard to surf with all of those people in the water and people lined up all over to watch. She calls herself picky with books and but really loves the book called The Spiderwick Chronicles. This seventh grader is proud of her 4.0 GPA. Kendall would like to be a professional surfer someday and also a mommy. She loves seafood and says that her favorite movie is The Grudge.

Kendall loves to compete and has for the past three years. Not only does she surf, she also plays soccer and dirt bikes and kite boards and snow boarding. She is ranked 7th in the NSSA but she is not sure of her HASA rankings. At home, Kendall says that her mom and dad are a bit strict when it comes to homework but let all of their kids surf when they get home from school and then do homework.
