Early life
In 2000, when Peterson was just five 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 Peterson 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. However, once returning home to the US, Peterson did not continue surfing. Resuming at the age of 12, she qualified for the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Women's World Championship Tour by 16, and began her rookie year on tour in the 2012 season a year later.
Personal life
Peterson dated Australian surfer Thomas Allen for a number of years before becoming engaged on January 21, 2018, near Peterson's hometown in California, with close friends and fellow surfers nearby. They were married on February 2, 2019. [19]
On February 14, 2010, Peterson started her YouTube channel dedicated to sharing her life, travel, and surfing. [20] She began uploading videos in May 2019 with a first video in vlog format covering life in Bali surrounding a surfing competition. [21] In addition to publishing her own content on YouTube, Peterson is a fan of the videos Hailey Baldwin shares on YouTube. [10]
