Does
anyone at your Home Break encourage influence or inspire you with
your surfing? If so who and why? how? |
A lot
of times I meet people at my home breaks. It seems like every sesh,
I meet someone new and learn something about and from them. It just
opens my eyes to new things. Also I've met Dave Johnson, a local
where I live, and he's just so thriving in his passion for the surf
culture...he's a great guy and a good influence. |
Who
is your favourite surfer and why? |
I think
I'd have to say Taj Burrow, because even though he's not really
into the competetion scene, he's a really down to earth guy and
gets the most out of smaller waves. I also love Layne Beachley and
have the utmost respect for her because shes amazing!! |
Any
surfing tips for beginners? |
Start
on whitewash, don't get too big for your britches so to speak, don't
get in over your head (repetitive?), and definetely don't get discouraged.
Especially as a girl its hard to get respect in this generally male-dominated
sport, so be strong and don't lose hope. And don't let others intimidate
you! |
What
board/boards are you currently riding? |
I have
a 6'5 by David Pu'u. Pretty ancient, but it's a fun board to ride.
I'm in the process of transitioning from my 7'8 Dave Johnson funshape.
It's hard but I'm getting the hang of it! |
Anything
Else you'd like to say in your profile? |
Ever
since I started surfing, it's had a place in my heart. It governs
so much in my life and has taught me so much, and I'm still learning.
I'm hoping to get better and maybe someday win a real competition.
I just wish there were MORE girls that surfed at my school!! |
Conclusion
If
you had to write a surfing Slogan to sum up your feelings about
the sport what would it be? |
Live to Surf, Surf to Live. |
