Kanya Sesser's story is one of resilience and inspiration. Born without legs and abandoned as a baby, Kanya refused to let her disability define her. At the age of 9, she discovered skateboarding, and it became a life-changing moment for her. Skateboarding gave Kanya a newfound sense of freedom and independence, allowing her to overcome physical barriers and societal misconceptions. Her unwavering spirit and determination have propelled her forward, and she has become an advocate for inclusivity in the skateboarding community and beyond.
Kanya's courage and determination have not only helped her find freedom in skateboarding but have also made her a role model for others facing challenges in their lives.

From June 23-25, 2023, the Queen Of The Point is back to bring together female longboarders of varying styles and abilities from all over the globe to the perfect peeling waves of First Point Malibu.

It has long been host to numerous events and competitions, but few have honored the lady sliders of past, present, and future.
As the fastest growing population of surfers, female longboarders are not only taking over lineups, but they represent the beauty, flow, and art of the sport.
The mission of QOTP is to acknowledge and show respect to the women who came before, to give a platform for the current class, and to encourage girls of the future to embrace longboard surfing.
The event includes AMATEUR divisions, with a maximum of 12 spots per division, running in a round-robin format, guaranteeing participants a minimum of 2 heats!
The PRO division has 24 spots available. Heats have a maximum of 4 riders, with an early second chance elimination round.
Price per division:$110 USD - $210 USD
Pro Division – $6,000 Prize Purse*
First Place = $3,000
Second Place = $1,500
Third Place = $900
Fourth Place = $600
