Her older brother Jara introduced her to the world of the Hawaiian board after seeing her ride "Morey". A few waves were enough for Analí to stand up on the board and realize that was her calling.

The first time she won a leg of the Latin American Championship was at the age of 13 in Ecuador. From there, she started competing in national, Latin American, Pan American, and WTC circuits.

She was Runner-up in the Junior Surfing World Championship and most recently, Runner-up in the Rip Curl Open in San Bartolo. She currently ranks among the top 50 surfers in the world and continues to maintain that rebellious spirit every time she faces the waves.
