Lisa Andersen Gave Birth, Then Made The Final
Legendary surfer Lisa Andersen started her family early on, when she became pregnant at 23 years old during her first year on the world tour. In 1993 she gave birth to her daughter, Erika with her soon-to-be husband, Renato Hickel. Hickel was a Brazilian judge for the ASP World Tour, which made the relationship a bit controversial.
Only a month after giving birth, Lisa was back in the water with a jersey on. She made the final in Japan and continued to surf professionally, winning her first of four world titles in 1994. Lisa later welcomed her son, Mason with her second husband, Tim Shannon.
