Background

In 2000, when Lakey was just 5 years old, her parents, David and Sue, rounded up their youngest child and her two older siblings —Whitney, then 13, and Parker, 10 — and set out on a year-long, around-the-world adventure. It was during this trip that Lakey learned to surf. For three months, the Petersons set up shop in Manly Beach, Australia, where their littlest member instantly earned the nickname “Lakey Legend” from the locals for effortlessly catching wave after wave on her boogie board.
