I’m a 52 year old woman who also happens to be a mom (to 2 very athletic girls), a wife, pharmacist, dogwalker, chauffer, baker and cook……there’s not a lot of time for fun on a daily basis. Last summer, during our annual summer break at Tahoe, I had the most FUN I’ve had in a long time paddling around on my friend’s surfboard!
The sunshine, crystal clear blue water, coconutty smell of sunscreen….slicing through the cold water on the board….pure joy……give me more!!!!!
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time playing beach volleyball in the summers. One day, I had the chance to try a friend’s surf board and immediate fell in love. I was never that good, could barely stand up, but nothing beat the peacefulness of sitting on the board out in the vast ocean. Age crept up, and though I still play volleyball, I lost my confidence to surf. I just had my second daughter and to have quality time with my first daughter, now three, we participated in Mommy & me swimming class. Riley is an incredible swimmer, with such confidence. During the last class, the teach brought out a surf board for the kids to stand up on for fun. I gleamed with pride as she tried to stand up. It made me think what a good role model I could be to both my daughters to get back on the board and teach her that age, added weight or work priorities shouldn’t get in your way of living an active, healthy, fun life style. Maybe I could even be the “cool Mom”! I would love to win the surf board and be able to teach my girls when they get a little older.
If I won this surfboard I would take it to Africa. Really. I would take it to Abene beach in Senegal, West Africa, and I would let the kids there surf on it. Currently I travel to Abene three times a year, and I bring school supplies and soccer equipment mostly. I brought two boogie boards once and they were a hit! I taught the kids how to catch waves, and now I see them out there in the surf whenever they have a break from school and chores. It would be so cool to bring them a surfboard too!
Can a t – shirt change your life?
Two years, – 25 pounds, four pairs of sneakers and 1,050 miles of road covered. That is what I have done since I saw the t – shirt that changed my life. It said “What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail”. I immediately thought, run a marathon and learn to surf. I did the marathon…. now I need to learn to surf.
I believe : Never think you are too old … I am 43
Never think you don’t have the time … I have three kids
Never give up on your dreams.
I caught the bug in 2000 as I kayaked the calm waters of the Baja Peninsula. The bug called Adventure, which crawls under your skin, builds a nest in your heart requiring you to spend hours playing outside and absorbing the rhythmic flow of the day.
I hope to step back to the ocean, paddle past the break, feel the warm breeze dry the salts to my skin and surf the sweet seven foot funboard to shore. I hope Title Nine, the women at Carve, and Entropy will support my endeavor to learn the ocean from a new perspective.
I would love to win the surfboard so I can keep up with my 6 year old daughter. She started surfing last year and she wants to teach me. She inspires me every day to be a better woman.
I love this board and would love to learn how to surf. Surfing totaly seems like alot of fun. When I was six I moved from Ca to Pa. So long sun and beaches. But since it snows plenty here I learned how to snowboard and love it. Every now and then when I get away to the beach i’m always temped to rent a surfboard for the week and try it, but i never have. I would love to win my own.
thanks
I would love to have this beautiful Carve Designs surfboard! I’m a paddler, not a surfer but this would help me greatly when I’m coaching and teaching the 8-12 year old keiki how to paddle and race! I can already see how I can paddle my “spare” kid with me so it would make water changes into the canoe a lot easier (ie, 7 ft of space on the board)! And…the colors match Kai Oni CC colors. The club and I would be forever grateful for the gift.

I’m a land-locked California woman living in the interior of Alaska. I would love to win the surfboard. When it’s -45 and dark all day and all night I would get my surfboard out and set it in the middle of my cabin and pretend I could hear the waves breaking at Bodega Bay. I would paddle out among the sea otters and listen
to the sea lions on the rocks as the fog rolled in. I really miss the ocean!
If I were to win the great looking T9er surfboard, I would sit with it at Little Beach in Paia Maui, the birthplace of Patsy T. Mink. There I would not only share my board with the youth at at the Paia Youth Center, but I would share with them the story of how Patsy helped draft the great Equal Opportunity in Education Act that passed in congress on June 23 of 1972.
