I am hoping to win this ride for my big sis who I love and respect and would love to see her catching some waves on this fine board. My sister is really ambitious, creative, fun, silly, and just showed me her younger sis how to put make up on the right way. She is an ER nurse, a mother,a triathelete,a wife,a marathon runner, soap maker, gardner, a surfer and the best big sister ever. If I have a problem she has a solution or a shoulder to cry on. I love her a lot and would love to see riding the waves off the coast of Maine where she lives with her family. If not the surf board she is a perfect model for you catalog! Go DEB!
After 10 years of hard work in the classroom, the lab, and the water earning my Ph.D. in marine ecology, this ocean lover needs to get away from the keyboard, get active and have some fun in the water again! I’m working for California Audubon as an ecologist on San Francisco Bay, conserving and restoring natural bay habitats – now it’s time to restore my weekends, get back to playing hard on the beach, and prove to myself (and my surfer husband) that girls can surf too!
Your surfboard will never have as good a home with anyone else. I will treat it like my own dog, Patty. I will love it, sing to it, give it shelter from storms. OK, Patty doesn’t even get sung to and some times if it’s raining and she won’t come in I’ll just leav-… I mean, I love that dog, but I don’t sing to it. Anyways, this surfboard will count it’s lucky stars. And what’s more, I could actually USE a surfboard (if I had enough nickels to rub together to even buy one in the first place). That’s why this competition falls into my lap at a very opportune moment in life… Gimme a chance! The surfboard and I are begging you! OK, I’ll teach Patty how to surf, I promise!

It’s doubtful I deserve your, Sweet, One-of-a-kind, T9er, Crave Designed, surfboard more than all others, but I believe I want it more.
Completed first 5K, age 39,not because I deserved it. Completed because I wanted it.
Finished first Sprint Triathlon, age 40 not because I deserved it. Finished because I wanted it.
Placed 1st in age division, in first Xterra Sprint Triathlon, not because I deserved it. Placed 1st because I wanted it.
It’s doubtful I deserve your surfboard more, but wanting it makes it worthwhile.
I will skip to the shore every sunny afternoon and pounce into the sparkling waves from Tressels to Swami’s. I will hold hands with my little nephew, we will relish the sand in between our toes, and I will teach him to surf. I will show him the magnificent healing power of our ocean. We will dance in the salt, the kelp, the wax, the water! I will make sure that no matter how painful and overwhelming his life may be, he will always have refuge in the surf… to keep his heart full and healthy.
Well, I guess I dont have as great of a reason as some of the other contestants, but I LOVE surfing! I live on the west coast of Florida where there are ankle biters on occasion, and hurricane messes in the fall. My longboard is beat up, and has many holes and dings, but I cant get myself to buy a new one because it was my first board. THAT is the one I want to turn into a bench! Im just a young girl with no money and a love for waves. Ooh Ooh pick me pick me! 😉
I grew up on Cape Cod and, ironically, no one in may family is a strong swimmer. I was always afraid of critters in the water, too. Now my husband and I are raising our 4 kids in my hometown. I am really trying to make sure they know how to swim and have fun in the water. So when I had the opportunity to take a surfing lesson when I turned 40 this year, I jumped at the chance to check this goal off of my “bucket list”. I was excited and nervous as heck, but I DID IT!!! And I loved every minute of it. I would love to be able to continue, and get them into surfing too!
I was always a klutz, the last kid picked, the one whose mother constantly (and publicly) commented on her gracelessness. In my Rust Belt hometown, “athlete” came in three flavors: baseball, basketball, or football.
I swam and biked, but this didn’t count (especially to me). Eventually, I learned to scuba dive, teach yoga, kayak, salsa. I had two daughters. Slowly, I realized: I am my own team captain. Every woman must choose her own game, venue, and rules. Every woman must be her own cheerleader.
That klutzy girl turns 37 this year—my birthday present to her? Surf camp.
