Francisca “Kika” Veselko was born in Irvine, California in 2003 but raised in Portugal. Born to surfer parents, a native Portuguese mom and native Californian father, she was able to experience homes in equally renowned surf locations. She began to surf when she was 6 years old.
Her dream is to qualify for the World Tour and be a World Champion. She knows it’s going to be a long journey but is willing to do everything it takes to achieve her dream!
She spent the 2018/19 school year in Huntington Beach, California where she had ambitions to study and compete against the best girls in the USA.
She has been a national champion junior a few times and won yet another title this year, Vice European champion representing Portugal in the Open division.

Favorite things to do when you’re not riding: Explore nature and new places, hangout with friends, listen to music and work on myself to grow as a person.
Fashion essentials: I don’t have any fashion essentials, I just like to be myself and wear whatever fits the vibe in the moment.
Favorite moment with ROXY: A party in Huntington Beach California in 2017 where I had the opportunity to hangout with Stephanie Gilmore, Bianca Buitendag and other inspirations.
