Erin Brooks
American-Canadian professional surfer
Erin Brooks (born 17 July 2007) is an American and Canadian professional surfer who competes for Canada.
Career
In 2023, aged 15, Brooks was runner-up in the ISA Games, losing the final to Tatiana Weston-Webb.
Brooks applied for Canadian citizenship in 2023 through her Canadian-born grandfather but her application was denied because Canadian nationality law limited citizenship by descent to the first generation born abroad. The following year, after the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled that the first generation limit was unconstitutional, Brooks refiled and was granted citizenship.
In 2024, in the last stage before the WSL Finals, Brooks competed as a guest and won the Corona Fiji Pro, beating Caitlin Simmers in the quarterfinals, Molly Picklum in the semi-finals and Olympic silver medalist Tatiana Weston-Webb. Brooks came 4th place in the 2024 Challenger Series and secured a spot in the 2025 CT, making her first appearance in the world surfing elite at 17 years old.
