Actually I only have one more to go to make it to ten, too bad I broke my fin off, now its waiting to get fixed.

Huge Waves

It's amazing how the waves were yesterday and today in Santa Barbara. Compare to summer it could be a different place if you didn't know Santa Barbara . . . I have fun going to Rincon to shoot some rad surfers . . . most of them were not catching waves and hagging waiting for their turn . . . There was a couple of girls (yeah for the girls!) and one kid (I am not sure what happen to him) . . . Campus Point was also big . . . poles was braking nice . . . but I think the hardest thing was the curr… Continue

Why Do We Surf?

I borrowed this from the Skateboard Moms and thought it was pretty applicable to surfing too!

It keeps us healthy.

It keeps us feeling young.

The wind in our hair is a blast.

It’s fun to laugh at ourselves.

We’re proud, strong women.

We look cool when we do it.

We haven’t forgotten how to play.

We haven’t forgotten we need to play.

We love being with our friends.

It’s better than chocolate.… Continue

Labor Day at Mondo's

I went out this morning without Cha, but still couldn't find
anyone. I did find a spot on the beach and by noon, I was getting
pushed out by families and kids were messing with my board. Such is
life...

BUT....
I did get out. I paddled and looked for anyone I knew... only saw Mr.
Clean.... and paddled around him.

I did catch a great wave (by accident), got pushed into a couple of
guys and ran over one a little... OOOPS!! So sorry guy!! I felt

Summer is here and the beach is packed

Fredrik and I decided to go to Mondos last minute on Sunday for a little surfing. We dragged Mallika with us and my mom (no, she doesn't surf). So, we jumped in the clown car (just because is a Honda and we like to carpool) and headed for our surfing spot. We knew it was going to be crowded, but we never imagined this. We got off the freeway and started our 3 mile drive to the beach. There was a spot, and I told Fredrik, park here, and I realized that we were not yet close the place we usually p… Continue

Surf Penguins!

I took my son to see the movie Surf's Up about the penguin surfer, and I totally recommend it. It was very cute, and it inspired me to get back out there and do it, especially because the main character actually isn't very good in the beginning, and he gets advice from a more seasoned surfer to "just have fun" and "relax" and use long strokes.

Surf Safe: Quick Release Leash

Hey Girls,

I highly recommend this quick release leash in case of tangles with seaweed or rocks. As you know, a fellow surfer drowned at Campus Point in 2006. This tragic event sparked concern about the safety of traditional surfboard leashes versus leashes with a quick-release pull pin. The difference between the two is that when a surfer pulls the pin, it automatically detaches the cord around the ankle. With a traditional leash, the surfer has to reach down and do it manually. Pleas
