Surfing was one of my favorite things to do before I became pregnant with my son. One of the first signs of my pregnancy was the tightness of the wetsuit I wore to surf in San Diego in winter. Once my pregnancy was confirmed I gave surfing up, for a little while I thought. But then we moved and I had another child, and we didn’t get to beach as often. Now my son will be attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and I would love to be able to surf with him when I go up to visit.
I would oh so love this new surfboard. Why might you ask, well it’s really rather simple. I love to surf and it makes me happy. I’m a much happier person when I come out of the water than when I go in. That happiness spreads to other people I encounter with. Not only that, but surfing reminds me of why we need to protect our oceans and water sources. Surfing reminds me to spread the aloha spirit and protect the environment. This one of kind Surfboard is a significant contribution to human happiness and love for the planet.
I’m not sure if I deserve this surfboard or not, but it sure would be cool! This June I turn 50 and supposedly I should take up knitting lessons or backgammon, join AARP………..NOT!
I would like this next year to be much more adventurous, exhilerating, spiritual and memorable! I have never surfed before but who knows? Maybe this would be the fire to ignite myself………….life is too short to sit back and play couch potato………let’s play sofa surfer instead!
for the last seven years, i have grown over 4 million chickens for a very important poultry company. they come over a hundred thousand at a time it is a 24/7 job for about 8 weeks. you hope and pray everything goes right, because in less than 10 minutes they could all be dead, and you are out of it,with zero pay. so last year, i got away to daytona beach, and even though my 3 sons still don’t believe me, i took a surf lesson. AND MOM CAN REALLY SURF! i loved it, but learned; always wear board shorts!
If I had that surfboard, it would do double duty: first, to finally get me off my belly. So far, the boogie board has been my limit, and it won’t hold me while standing. I think learning to surf at age 48 would be totally cool, don’t you? Second, when not near warm water, it would serve as a table to hold fiery literature for making social and environmental change. Such attempts should be beautiful visually as well as intellectually. Away with the old ironing board – up with deco surf!
My entire life I’ve always felt drawn to the ocean and have wanted to learn to surf. I love the freedom and tranquility it emanates. Unfortunately, when I was a small child I had a horrible experience in the ocean and never set foot in it again. I lived vicariously through my surfer friends observing only from the beach. At 39 I learned to swim again. My 40th birthday is coming soon and the waves are calling! I WILL answer!! What better way than on my very own one-of-a-kind Title Nine surfboard?
Title Nine,
I need to win your Sweet Surf Board! I started to receive your catalogue a few years ago and it changed my LIFE. The first few I looked at I was just like umh interesting.
I am a working mon of a beautiful, very active 15 year old daughter.
About a year and a half ago, I was browing the catalogue and actually started reading about the different women you have featured, they are active women who are beautiful,in shape,seem confident and look like they are having the time of their lives.
I think that is what I forgot how to do! I had gotten so wrapped up in being; a wife and mother, working and just trying to make ends meet, I let myself go. My 40th birthday was coming ;up and I had made a decision New Year’s 2008 that I would lose my extra weight, get back in shape and start taking better care of myself. At first it was hard making me a priority, but I am doing better now and looking better. I have lost over 30lbs., I have been biking,jogging,walking,lifting weights, and for my 40th birthday which was Mother’s Day May 10th,2009 I took my first surf lesson, with Casey who works through K-Coast Surf Shop in Ocean City, MD. It was something I have always wanted to try, but I was too afraid! Me and my daughter actually had the lesson-Casey was so patient with me. We are actually going again this weekend, I love it. It would be really great to win that board and go show off(with my beginner skills)!,but I would look cool!
Yours Truly,
Tracey L. Weaver
A moments break in the endless efforts to raise peaceful, caring, and thoughtful children. I am a mother of two, whom would ride this board and cradle for a while in Mother Nature’s waters. For all the moms out there putting out so much love,energy, and time. It would be awesome to ride this board in the embracing waters that so deeply nuture us.
I would like to win the surfboard because it would be a constant reminder of who I want to be and where I am going in this life. I am a 40 -something mother of 4 who has not a lot of time to call my own.I spend most of my days taking care of other people and helping the school that they attend. I would want it to fulfill my 10 year long dream to get to go to surf camp in Mexico. But until I can get there I would take it down to the lake and lay on it and accept the glorious rays of the sun. Listen to the water splash all around, feel the movement of the board dancing with the water. Knowing that I am one day on my way to the real waves. But all the while enjoying just the feel of that beautiful board under my body, knowing that someday I will be living my dream! Living my dream will make me a better personto my children , husband and this world. I could than share my new found knowledge with others. Reminding us ,how it is important to chase some of the dreams that we all have. To keep reminding us that we are all here to keep growing and reaching for the stars!!!! Yes, I can see it now!!!!!
At 70, my father said he still felt like he was 25. At 80, my mother said she didn’t recognize the old woman looking at her in the mirror.
Age is just a number – and mine is 47.
My kids think I’m old, but they are too young to understand. They don’t know that I’m out to conquer the world…and the first step on this journey lies 90 miles from my house…Crescent Beach. And, when I conquer those waves, I will mount the surfboard on my wall to remind everyone that age is just, after all, a number.
