Fearless and aggressive, Kelsey thwarted Ophelie David's five-peat attempt in 2011 in dramatic fashion. After battling all the way down the course, both of them carried so much speed off the last kicker that they crashed through the finish and crumpled to the ground. For Serwa, it was a painful finish to her first WX gold; she sprained her entire thoracic spine to the point where she could not get out of bed. Still, the resilient 22-year-old won the World Championships in Deer Valley, UT, a week later. Two big wins in 2011 meant Serwa didn't have to work for the first time over a summer. Instead, she spent time with boyfriend and fellow WXer Stan Rey, and the two made frequent surf trips to Oregon.
