Profile

Brisa Hennessy is an elite professional surfer and global ambassador for watersports, known for her adventurous lifestyle, athletic excellence, and deep-rooted connection to Costa Rica. Born in the remote coastal jungle of Costa Rica, Hennessy spent her early years living off the grid—without electricity, surrounded by the ocean, and immersed in nature. It was there that her love for surfing, exploration, and wellness first took shape.

 

Hennessy’s competitive journey began when her family moved to Hawaii, where she honed her skills in world-class waves and discovered her passion for competition. In 2018, she realized a lifelong dream by qualifying for the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour, where she continues to rise through the ranks and represent Costa Rica on the global stage.

 

A WSL Championship Tour surfer, Hennessy is also a two-time ISA World Champion, Pan American Games Gold Medalist, and a two-time Olympian, having proudly represented Costa Rica at both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

 

Outside of surfing, Hennessy is deeply passionate about fitness, nutrition, and mindful living. A dedicated cook and wellness advocate, she integrates clean eating and holistic health into her training regimen to fuel peak performance and inspire others to live healthier, more balanced lives.

 

Splitting her time between Fiji, Costa Rica, and a life on the road, Hennessy embodies the spirit of a true water athlete—blending global travel, elite surfing, and an unwavering commitment to watersports and personal growth.

 

Whether she’s charging in powerful waves, competing on the world’s biggest stages, or sharing healthy recipes with her community, Brisa Hennessy continues to lead by example as a world-class athlete and role model in surfing, fitness, and Costa Rican pride.

Beyond The Sport With Brisa Hennessy

What's the biggest challenge I've overcome in my life?

My biggest challenge has had to be navigating my health journey and the physical, mental and emotional side that has come with it. While there’s has been times I have wanted to give up my biggest challenge has also been my greatest motivation. I had to walk through the fire to find my truth, my why and inner strength. I also have found a deeper connection to my community.

What's my morning routine?

My morning routine always begins with drinking a big glass of water and then I going into some humming & breath work. I then try to immediately go outside to get some sun light in my eyes. I then head straight to the coffee machine and make a big bullet coffee and that is when my day truly begins. :)

What I'm most passionate about outside of surfing!

I love cooking and the peace it brings me. It truly is my therapy. There is something so fulfilling about cooking for others and bringing people together at the dinner table. I also am really passionate about women’s holistic health and learning more about this space.
