These are minor characters in the Joss Kendrick books.
Coach Kara
The coach of the cheerleading squad.
Sofia Goto
Joss's best friend. She has shiny black hair cut in an "edgy" bob. She and Joss call each other Surf Sisters.
Like Joss, she is a surfer; however, she leans towards more tech tricks and is more graceful. Her mother owns a board shop, which allows Sofia to have newer boards as they come out. Sofia enjoys beachcombing and turning what she finds into works of art. She sometimes forgets to face Joss when she's excited so Joss can understand her as she speaks.
Ms. Goto
Sofia's mother. She owns a board shop, SoCal Board Shop.
Tina Hart
A professional surfer. She founded an organization called Save The Coast that cleans up beaches and helps protect sea animals.
Dylan Kendrick
Joss's younger older brother. He is fourteen and, according to Joss, not big on following the rules, and often acts as if girls shouldn't be surfers. He and Joss do not get along well.
Liam Kendrick
Joss's eldest brother. He is eighteen and planning to become a professional surfer, and works at the SoCal Board Shop.
Mr. Kendrick
Joss's father. He shaves his hair short. In his free time he does wordworking. Unlike Mom and his children, he sinks like a rock in water.
Mrs. Kendrick
Joss's mother. She works as a physical therapist (with Monday mornings off), grew up in California, and has surfed her whole life. She keeps a rock garden.
Mila
Another cheerleader. She's a fifth grader with brown hair and is exceptionally rude and skeptical about Joss's participation in cheerleading.
Murph
The Kendricks' English bulldog. Dylan spent the previous year teaching her to skateboard. She is "goofy footed" like Joss on her skateboard.
Nico
Dylan's friend and one of the more braver surfers at the Break. He has dark curly hair and is nicer to Joss and Sofia than Dylan. His older sister is Reina.
Reina
Nico's older sister and Liam's girlfriend, and a cheerleader. She offers the chance to do cheerleading to Joss.
Brooklyn Tillerman
A black girl who becomes Joss's friend when she starts cheerleading. She has tiny black (micro) braids and is in the other fourth grade class.
