It’s one of those “only in Hawaii” stories: a five-year-old moves to the Islands and is bobbing on a surfboard within weeks; she starts competing just two years later and grows up to become one of the planet’s top professional female surfers by age 23.

And her story doesn’t end there. This past spring, she added winning the North Shore Soap Factory Pipeline Women’s Pro to her long list of accolades.

Given her kinetic lust for life, Anastasia Ashley knows how to shop smart. Here are her top 10 things well worth the money, from Kona to Kauai.
