It didn't take long for Olympic surfer Caroline Marks to become a household name in the surf community. Through years of consistent performances on the water, she has rapidly grown an exceptional reputation.

Marks, 23, competed in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, earning a gold medal after defeating Brazil. In 2023, she claimed a colossal victory outside the Olympics at the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour, when she came out on top alongside Filipe Toledo in the finals. In 2025, she was crowned champion at MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal, pocketing another victory.

Adding to her accolades, Marks is joining the ranks of SI Swimsuit models after participating in a photo shoot led by photographer Ben Horton in her hometown of Boca Raton, Fla. "I'm so incredibly grateful to work with such an inspiring group of people," she wrote on Instagram. "Thank you @si_swimsuit for allowing me to participate in the #SIswim25 issue. For the full gallery, go to the link in my bio."
