My wife, Kerstin Kimel, is the Womens Lax Coach at Duke. She represents perfectly what Title Nine legislation was all about: Played lax at Maryland and leading amazing, smart, athletic, selfconfident young women at Duke. She takes her team to the beach every year to build team unity. They compete, and bond with a fun, goofy beach olympics. They could use a Team Surfboard! We also enjoy your gear, so continued good luck in this economic environment. You guys portray women in a healthy, non cosmo light, so keep it up!
Freedom, this is the word I use to describe the feeling i get from surfing. Freedom from any sound but the rush of the water around me. Freedom from gravity, I feel as though I am flying. Freedom from gender, the wave doesn’t know the difference. The ocean doesn’t carry currency so money has no value. This feeling of freedom is something I wish to teach my daughter. With this board I would have the ability to share this gift with her. The feeling of freedom is the greatest gift you can give. Thank you.
When i was younger, i dreaded going to the beach. The sand, the salty water, the beating sun- all were a complete turn off to me. Now that i am older, i have come to realize the beauty and the escape that this location has to offer. The sand is your all-natural foot and callus exfoliator (and what woman doesn’t like that idea, really?), the salt water heals everything from sore muscles to acne (at least that’s what i’ve experienced), and the sun just makes us happy. Nature has offered up some great reasons for me to get out and explore, especially with a troubled home life. Having this surfboard would be just another great opportunity for me to clear my head and zone out to better handle life on shore. I do not know how to surf, but i would love to learn, and until then, i’ll just float out and let the gentle ripples lull me to a peaceful place, in tune with nature. Learning to surf will be a great way to test my body and explore its abilities, and prove others wrong about how strong i am despite the two titanium rods i have screwed in my spine as a result of scoliosis correctional surgery. That’s all i got, i would greatly appreciate this opp. thank you.
II am a single mom recently divorced – and the last trip I took in my marriage was to Costa Rica for a surfing trip – I had spent the previous years training and racing kayaks – and when I would travel I would hit the surf. I desperately need a vacation – I have been working long hours and taking care of my kids full time!! I need a surfing vacation to feel alive again! It would make me bettter at my job and as a mom!
If I would win, we would take our new “adventure board” and go to California. I replaced my husband with my mom. It will be a girl trip. My three daughters, me and my mom. Our new “adventure board” would show us a great time!. Im sure we will have laughter, lots of laughter and some great stories We still want to pick it up in California!. Since none of us have any clue on surfing!.
YES! I want to win the carvacious board of summer fun! I deserve to win because the drive to the beach is only 40 minutes and the roof rack on my car has never held a surfboard.
Because I am an avid outdoor chic raising two young, amazing outdoor girls who know their mom’s penchant for fun means you better bring a water bottle and sun screen, just for starters.
Because while I am still the center of my kids universe, I want one more reason they’ll want to hang (ten) with me. Peace.
Atlantic to Pacific
I am a teacher in West Chester , Pennsylvania , about 2 hours from the closest beach, but I still manage to make it to the Jersey shore every weekend from March – January. My dream would be to travel up and down the east coast, and drive cross country to California . Most people dream of the surf in Hawaii , and believe me I would love to, but I’m a teacher, where’s the money? My dream to surf from the Atlantic to Pacific will become a reality. I have summers off, and an extreme passion to surf!
How cool is T9? You are offering young, old, middle aged women oceanic hope! Can you hear it in these responses? These women and girls share passion, creativity, and a will to feel all that life has to offer. Thanks T9 for lighting the fire for some of us and for providing the potential light for others. It’s lovely to hope you may make our ocean dream come true; it’s wonderful to know you’ll be making some person, some family, some female spirit, soar higher. And I thought you were just offering me a cool maternity bra. Go figure.
I’ve got two, count ‘em two, fantastic kids that I want to enjoy water in every possible way. I want them to live and breathe ocean. We’ll be lucky to have one board for all of us and we’ll be wearing full wet suits when we enjoy every minute of it in the cool North Atlantic water. If you are so kind to choose our family, it’ll be part of our family history – in the ocean off the coast of Maine and, if we save our pennies, in the warmer waters of Costa Rica with our wild Atlanta Auntie.
At age 37 I took up ice hockey and it changed my life! I’m addicted and inspired. I’m now asking what else can I do? What can you do at 14, 27, or 34? Surf? I’d like to try. I don’t ever again want to forget that life is an adventure for those willing to get on the ride. It’s free–no ticket required.
