I am a picsces through to the gills!! I live in the central coast of CA. 15 minutes near the sea. I spent 25 years in the water on boogy boards and body boarding and alwys wanted to surf. I now have a 25 year old son that would love to teach me-and I trust his skills-he’s pretty good. It would also help with my menopause….sweats, insomnia, anxiety. AH the beauty of age. But mostly the BEAUTY of the OCEAN! Thank you Leslie
Necessity demanded I take a full time desk job to support my struggling art career. The board will hang where it will whisper, like the ocean, to remember my heart. It will call me to my studio after hours; inspire my dream back to freedom, to unfettered creativity, swimming early mornings with dolphins, paddling, bobbing, gliding. My first board, it will be the very thing I reach for upon returning to my passion and the beauty and wilderness of the calming sea.
Title Nine inspires us
As women to push on stronger
To take some risks, to spread our wings
To run and hike for longer
Catching a wave would be a dream
The energy of something new
The timing would be perfect now
Current mothering hours are few
With daughters off and on their own
They’re confident and on their way
Now it’s time for this great mom
To again learn how to play
Living life as a “worker bee”
With some time for kayaks or hiking
Making time for riding a wave
Would be very much to my liking!!
I’m an entirely self-taught surfer. At 7, I knew so little about boards that the first time I “borrowed” my brother’s, I rode it fin-side up! Years later, still knowing very little, I kept slipping off the board. A surfer looked at my board and said, “You have no wax on it!” Since then, I’ve figured out that my board rides better with the fins down and wax matters. I’ve also learned to be a solid and daring surfer, competing with the boys in my town. I am becoming good. I could be better with your board. I promise.
I spend my summers managing a beach club in Delaware. My duties include training lifeguards for ocean rescue. Last year my patrol recovered the body of a 27 year old man who drowned during a swim on a nearby beach. The incident was both humbling and gratifying. Humbling because it reminded us of the ocean’s great, unyielding power, gratifying because we were able to recover a body which, otherwise, may have been lost to the sea, and thereby bring closure (and hopefully peace) to a grieving family. The board is not for me but rather my lifeguards who may actually use it to save drowning children (or adults) not in faraway ocean’s but in our own.
I have always believed in another life I would have been a surfer girl. Landlocked in the midwest I have done my best to sail board but it just isn’t the same. After years of raising four children I hope to still have time to learn one of these days. If I win this board I won’t have an excuse not too. Before the board touches the ocean it will do a little service of being our coffee table or hang on our wall and inspire our family of six to keep trying new things!
Hope you choose me,
Andrea Ripberger
We are market farmers/organic produce growers. The time of year to surf and do other activities we are flat out in the fields literally making hay and other crops while the sun shines (or not). We vend @ farmers markets and also sell from our farm. If I win this sweet ride, first I’d use it to display our beautiful produce on and tell everyone about Title Nine. Also, I’d make it a point to finally take a break during the season and at last find that perfect wave my husbands been telling me about for 22 years!

I feel Lucky
Lucky to have a loving family and friends – parents, sisters, niece’s and nephews
Lucky to have been born and raise in Hawaii – Paradise on Earth
Lucky to have a driving passion – Horses
Lucky to have a job I LOVE and can help people – Paramedic
Lucky to have lived over half a centry – Its a great life adventure
Lucky to be surrounded by the Pacific ocean were I could paddle out into the liquid cobalt blue on a brand new Carve surfboard. I can feel the wind and water now.
PS – I really would like to be in that T9 catalog 🙂
The salty sea breeze, the warm sand, the soothing surf….my favorite times have been at the beach.
Growing up under the intense Arizona sun, I counted the days until my family’s annual trek to San Diego. Dawn ’til dusk we’d build sand creatures and boogieboard. There is nothing in the world like zooming down the face of a breaking wave!
Unfortunately, one beach activity always intimidated me too much to even try.
Well, this summer marks my 40th birthday. My family is rendezvousing in Maui. I’ve started exercising like crazy. And, I AM GOING TO SURF…’cause it’s now or never, baby!
Hi Title Nine!
I have a love of surfing but more importantly my friends do as well…
Every year I host a big party that’s a fundraiser to benefit the Kenya Education Fund. This amazing organization helps get funds to students in Kenya that deserve a chance at achieving their dreams…
I think I deserve this board because by raffling it off at this year’s party it could do a lot of good in this world…
So Title Nine, someone wins your surfboard and enjoys it for life, but at the same time you would be changing some lives forever as well…
It seems to me it would be win win for everybody…thanks for the chance!
