Before you read my post I want to say. I think Alana is a very beautiful girl and a very talented surfer. She is a very nice person, friendly to her fans and everyone, and just generally a wonderful person. This post is about her attitude towards the WTC and taking PROFESSIONAL Surfing seriously.

The Surfing community in general knows she has to many eggs in her basket to be the world champion right now. If she loses her spot on the WTC she will fade away from this 15 minutes of fame she is enjoying. Remember Kelly Slater did the whole "Bay Watch" thing for a year or two (he was also losing credability as a PRO surfer during that time too), but he finally realized he couldn't do both and become the WTC WORLD CHAMPION, he made the choice to be a 100% world class PROFESSIONAL Surfer and look what he accomplished, and Alana will have to make that choice soon or lose her spot on the WTC. I hope this is just a phase she is going through and she chooses to be a Professional Surfer soon. She has the potential to be a world champion if she would get focused. She bearly made it into the WTC for 2014 and if she keeps playing and doesn't start taking the WTC seriously she is going to get bumped off the tour by some of the WQS girls that are taking it VERY seriously. Some of those WQS girls have the hunger, desire, ambition that it takes to be a world champion. Something Alana seems to have lost recently.
Maybe she really doesn't care about the WTC or the World Title. She is a silver spoon girl. She can just live the rich life without it or the wannabe modeling she does. I don't think she has the ambition to be a world champion at all. I don't see her ever being the WTC Womens World Champion if she continues trying to juggle so many balls at once.
This is just my opinion. I have nothing against her personally and love her surfing and her delightful personality. She is a great person. I once thought she would be a world champion but she has way to much going on to focus enough on the WTC and be a world champion at this time.
P.S. Yes, I compaired her to Kelly Slater. If she got focused on professional surfing again and found the desire to be the world champion I think she could easily be the "kelly slater" of the Women's WTC. But her choices in 2013 gave me the impression that she really doesn't care that much.
