The World Surf League recently completed its 2025 Women’s Championship Tour, and two Hawaiʻi women finished in the top five. Twenty-year-old Bettylou Sakura Johnson was one of the two. She grew up on the North Shore of Oʻahu in Haleʻiwa town. Earlier this month, Sakura Johnson finished the nine-month, 12-stop WSL Women's Championship Tour that took her from tiny Haleʻiwa to faraway places like Abu Dhabi and South Africa, and to legendary waves, like Cloudbreak in Fiji and Tahiti's Teahupo'o.
