San Onofre State Beach was filled with laughter in the mid-1980’s as my sons instructed their 40-something Mom on the fine points of surfing. Later, I like to think that pride entered the mix as I shared their enthusiasm and exhilaration . Now in my 60’s and with artificial hips, I’m content to swim, boogie board, and body surf. My heart swells, though, as I watch my 8 year old granddaughter, Ruby, as her father, one of my former instructors, leaps to her feet on her Dad’s long board. Ruby would look great on her new Carve board!
Hi,
I’m getting ready to turn fifty-one in June and in the past two years I’ve wanted to try surfing. I figure this is a change-of-life decision! Anywho, when I was a teenager we (friends) and I used to surf behind a slow motor-boat and that’s as close to surfing as I ever been. I believe that if a person wants and prays for something long enough things will happen. Oh and by the way, I’m a hippie at heart but cover as a working single, sane mom during the day, so it’s time to “let my hair down,” and take to the waves while I still can. Tomorrow is never promised, amen.
Hello. My name is Clare and I am 8 years old and I want to start surfing with my dad and my uncle. My dad told me that I needed to swim a length of the pool before he would teach me to surf. I can swim the length of the pool now and my dad is going to teach me to surf this summer and I hope I win this surfboard.
I want to express how much Title 9 has done for women who live their passion for movement and do so with grace and example. The ocean has been a huge healing experience for me and to paddle out is the best, no ka oi. I am 53 yrs old, a breast cancer survivor, personal trainer/massage therapist, live in Oregon and travel to Maui to surf my 8’6″ board; we should all be so lucky to be gifted with this very cool board. I would share either board with anyone on the beach!! Malama pono.
Wave Catcher
Beached for the past thirty years, I’ve prepared my children to be independent in their own lives, while encouraging my husband up his career ladder. Surf’s up! Waves of change are gaining momentum. Now it’s time for me to catch my own. I need the surfboard this summer in Hawaii. Not to sit on it at the beach, but to HANG TEN! While there, I’ll attend the first of a series of educational classes preparing me to accomplish the dream of MY life. That next big wave… is MINE!

T-aking on adventure? You bet! I’m about to embark on the biggest of my life!
9-s? Yes I’m thrilled to the nines to be making the move to live in Hawaii!
C-ould I use an awesome surfboard to hit the island waves? How sweet that’d be!
A-s a girl from Louisiana, this adventure is sure to change my life.
R-unning, paddling, surfing, biking, and yoga in this setting, I can’t wait.
V-eterinarian I am, so my pooch “Belle” will be alongside for the ride too!
E-ven better will be to make new friends while having all of this fun.
As a Midwesterner, I’ve never had the opportunity to go surfing…boogie boards on the Great Lakes is about the closest I’ve come. But who among us can go through life without catching a ripple along the way…coasting on calm waters…or holding on for dear life during a tsunami? A blue, flower-power surfboard, mounted above a Michigan mantle like a talisman reminding me that life is full of waves, but I’ve come prepared. Who knows? Someday it may find its way on an ocean to play or… on a friends wall whose waves are much bigger than my own.
Blue sky, bright sunshine, spray from the board hits my hand. Floating, flowing, smiling as the perfect ride ends. Falling back…POOF! Fresh powder billows over my body and lands on my face. Pure joy overwhelms my soul as I unstrap my snowboard and push off for another run. I teach snowboarding in hopes that people will feel the same exhilaration as I do when I ride. I hear surfing gives you the same awsome feeling. How cool to learn with my daughters. I deserve the board because I’m passionate about life and want to “surf ” all year.
