I’m trying to win this pretty surf board for my 27 year old daughter! She was raised in rural Shenandoah Valley of Virginia(between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains). She fell in love with a native VA. Beach fellow, who loves to surf(he has his own boards). If we win this board, she won’t have to just watch any more. She’ll be able to join him. PLEASE CONSIDER HER, she loves her new beach home.
“You don’t know whatcha got…” I grew up in Califorinia and went to UC Santa Cruz. Did I learn to surf then? Nope. Not until I moved to land-locked Colorado did I get the bug. My niece gave me my first surf lessons on a visit to Hawaii. For my 50th birthday (this December) I would like to go to women’s surf camp.How awesome to use my T-9 custom beauty at camp! Obviously, the ride will look better than I for the first couple days, but I expect to rise up and meet the waves in great style.
I’m 14, live in NJ and LOVE TO SURF! I got my very first and last surfboard three years ago, just weeks after, my mom introduced me to two really hot guys she met while I was surfing. We became friends or so I thought until one week after I left my Florida home I heard (the polices theory) two boys my age broke in and stole JUST my surfboard. I can not afford a new board and this one is just like my last. I am dying to ride again! ~True story
hello team titlenine
i am a 30yr mother(2girls)wife and yoga teacher. life long surfers my husband(native costa rican)and i met and married eight years ago then moved back to u.s. last june for due to co. downsizing my husband lost his job and we are now in the final stages of bankrupcy. we have had to sell everything worth anything(boards included:( now with both my kids of age i wish and dream this this as well! surfing has helped me to evolve in and with nature-staying on the right path and not getting caught up in the negative temptations of society.it has kept me true to myself and given me a great respect for the conservation and preservation of our planet and all living things!
i dont know why i exactly “deserve” this over anyone else but what i do know is that it would be and amazing and constant reminder that positive can come from negative but more so it is simply a way to give back and pay it foward to the futures of our young-who are the future!
this is such a great opportunity so thank you and namaste!
I’ve got a daughter who would live at the beach if she could… I grew up across the street from one, but didn’t fully appreciate it until Sammi came along! Fortunately, my parents still live there, and we take off for the Jersey Shore every chance we get. She’s progressed from wave-jumping to bodysurfing to boogey-boarding, never tiring and only leaving when I insist it’s time for a meal. How I would love to present her with such a beautiful board for the inevitable next level!
My friend and I had our first surf lesson in Kauai last August. We called ourselves DWC which stands for the Double-White Cupcakes. 2 new surfers were born that day and I can’t wait to get out there again with my friend to ride some more waves.
To see this surfboard everyday and night, because it would be a centerpiece in my bedroom, will make me dream of catching more waves and even better more laughs with my friend. It would remind me that adventure is just around the corner and how precious our friends are to us.
Cheers!! From 1/2 of the DWC!!
Although I live in a land-locked area, Kansas of all places, I’ve had the opportunity to surf a couple of times and loved it!
I lived at the pool as a child and taught countless children how to swim as a teen-ager and adult. As a therapist, I’ve worked with patients in aquatic therapy. I’m comfortable in the ocean and would love to expand my horizons now that I am a mature adult. I long for athletic endeavors and challenges, especially a surfboard and a beach with a good wave to ride.
Why Me? To wake up every morning and see a simple, beautiful surfboard in the middle of a city without surf, in a room with a girl who doesn’t surf, but who wakes up with a thought of hope; hope for a new beginning and a better tomorrow. Two preemies, too soon. 2lbs 13oz, 1lbs 5oz. My boys! Fear, sorrow, tears, patience, faith, hope, laughter. Changes! This girl woke up and discovered a better way of life, farmers markets, natural living, the outside. This girl can do anything now. This girl can surf even in a city without waves.
On Saturday, March 21 I received a phone call from my father reprimanding me for having just incurred a few small fractures in my wrist resulting from a fall off a rail while I was snowboarding. “You are 48 1/2 years old!”
I know I am not highly unusual in the T9 world but in my world I am an anomally. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Boarding, alpine skiing, horseback riding, flyfishing, trail running, snow shoeing, gardening and vineyard management keep me sane and balanced. My husband and teenage boys are great cohorts in several of these activities. I am planning on a learn-to-surf trip for my 50th birthday and this Carve board caught my eye as an incredible motivator to keep up my newly acquired skills.
I love the ocean, especially the crashing of the waves and the smell of the salty air. I am a 60 year old grandmother of twelve, three of whom are teenage boys who surf and skim board all the time. I can’t keep up very well because all I have is an old foamy board, and I grub all the time, but I always try my best! My oldest grandson says I’m a “kook!” With a new title 9 board I could show them that I am a hip grandma and that they better watch out , Surfs up!!
