To fulfill my lifelong dream of being Gidget! Ever since I saw that movie at 5 years old, I have wanted to be her! I wanted to be that cool chick who’s surfing with all the guys. Instead of learning from them, I would be teaching them cool tricks. I feel like with this surfboard I will find a passion in life that I have yet to discover. Now that I have finally learned how to surf, I need to put my skills to the test to become the best Gidget out there! All I need is a board 🙂
That beautiful sweet board knows it will be loved, respected and used. How will it be used?
S – swim out to the breakers
U – use my physical abilities
R – ride the waves
F – fun in the sun
B – be one with nature
O – overboard tumble
A – accept myself and abilities
R – roar with laughter and delight
D – do it again!
Why will it be loved and respected? Because it represents my love, my goal and my passion!
Too many times people have said “you can’t… you shouldn’t… you won’t….”
It’s time for me to respond.
I can… I should… and you know what? I WILL.
At the age of 51, I thought I was at this point in my life where I knew who I was, what my style was and was comfortable in my own skin. Then all of a sudden I realized I didn’t know any of it; I had gotten lost along the way and declared this year one of self re-discovery. seeing that awesome looking board really made me smile! That board, if mine, would become the best representative of who I am becoming and rediscovering. From before I even take my first lesson, that board would represent my love (the water), my goal (to permanently move to a beach area), and my passion (physical challenges). It will become my teacher — my favorite teacher — teaching me patience and appreciation. It will teach me to overcome fears, accept new challenges and have fun in life. But most of all, it will be my constant reminder that whether the wave is in the water or on land, you must always ride it!
My two girls and I just ran our 5th Title 9k together! Thank you for this great Mother’s Day tradition. I would love to win the surfboard to give to my daughter Lauren for her upcoming 16th birthday. It would recall a special family memory–our long-awaited “chick trip” to Maui 2 summers ago. My mom, my sister,and our 4 teenage girls were there ten days, and surfing lessons on Lauren’s 14th birthday was by far her favorite activity. I hope the cool surfboard will inspire her to return someday soon–and create more treasured moments.
I would use this surfboard to take out all of the many women & girls who have expressed an interest in surfing but never been able to try it because they don’t have a board or someone to teach them. I think women and girls in today’s day in age need to be empowered to know that they can set a goal to learn something new, and then go out an accomplish that goal. Women who develop that kind of self confidence in their own abilities will change the world. That is why I deserve this surfboard.
The surfboard is calling me — it has my name on it. While in Atlanta, GA during the summer it will go to the neighborhood pool and become my very special float to bask on. When not in use, it will be used as an art deco patio table in the backyard and as a special prop for my black lab in our prevacatiion invitations. It will accompany me on mly annual trek to the Outer Banks of NC where I will take my first surf lesson on it. In the winter, the board will hang lovingly as a great piece of artwork to serve as a constant reminder of the goals I am striving for.
The board represents my love (the water), my goal (to move to a beach area) and my passion (physical challenges).
My daughter is planning a surprise thirteenth birthday party for one of her best friends. This friend absolutely loves surfing and talks about it all school year, but doesn’t own a board. My husband is an experienced Great Lake’s surfer and he is teaching my daughter and her friend to surf on Lake Michigan. My daughter would like to give the surfboard to her friend at a surprise birthday party on the beach. What a thrill it would be to see the look on her friend’s face when she sees her new one-of-a-kind surfboard. If she wins we’ll capture the moment and send pictures.
I am planning a surprise thirteenth birthday party for one of my best friends. She absolutely loves surfing and talks about it all school year. We both live in Michigan and my dad is an experienced Great Lakes surfer. He is teaching her how to surf on Lake Michigan, but she doesn’t own her own board…yet. The look on her face would be priceless if she came down to the beach on July thirty-first to find her very own one-of-a-kind surfboard stuck in the sand. If I do win, I’ll definitely send you pictures! Thanks.
Oh, the good ole days of being a beach lifeguard and taveling up and down the coast to compete in sr. guard meets. I miss those days, In fact there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of the ocean and wish that I could take the kids and run through the sand and surf with them. We take every opportunity to get to the beach, and while we are there I catch a few waves. I was thrilled to see my son get up last summer and can’t wait to see my other 3 kids enjoy thier first ride. How cool it would be on that awesome carve surfboard!
