Danika Duffy, 20, comes from an action sports family. Her mom and dad are avid surfers and snowboarders. They'd take Danika out on the hill when she was learning to snowboard. Danika moved to California when she was seventeen to finish school. Danika enjoys pushing herself to become a better snowboarder while having fun and trying new tricks and spins. She's driven by the feeling of accomplishment, a feeling she is not unfamaliar with.

Danika represented for the Betty Rides family when she won the 2011 Gatorade Free Flow Tour. It's her positive attitude and clean riding style that earns her the recognition she deserves. After taking some down time to nurse an injury in 2010 she still managed to place very well in just about every competition she entered.

Danika's mom and dad help her remember how lucky she is. Her coach Ben Wisner and her friends keep Danika confident and progressing. She admires Joan Jett for her badass attitude. Most summers, Danika goes to New Zealand to snowboard and visit teammate, Charlotte Trundle. Outside of snowboarding, Danika likes to wakeboard and she swears by Bikram yoga. Soon she will finish up her associates degree at Santa Monica College, and further her education at SDSU or Portland State University.
