Women's surfing has come of age

Girls_are_going_surfing












Please click on this image and take time to study what you are looking at.

This female surfer is inside an Hawaiian Wave on the North Shore wearing a bikini and a smile, what a view she must have.

This picture represents the tip of the sports development pyramid. This surfer is doing what I would love all our surf customers to achieve and I hope my daughter, Isabella, will one day be on the North Shore pulling in to sick pits (here is a surf video of her aged 4.) 

Girls surfing development (GSD) is well and truly under way the future could be pink.

Our women's surf weekends will start in mid April click here for further info; women only surf courses

p.s we have uploaded a heap of  surfing pictures on to flkr and also uploaded several surfing, fitness and nutrition videos for surfers to youtube

Oahu, Hawaii.

  • Perfect_righthand_point_peeling_at_lani_
    I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.
