Tell ya - I'm amazed at how many females are surfing now as compared to when I started out. I think it's fantastic!

I think the date may have been the 10th, not the 20th on the photo I posted.

Yeah, it is fantastic. Around here the girls used to watch Blue Crush then go out and buy a brand new surfboard and wetsuit, use it once, then put it back on the second hand market the next weekend.

Now that the soft top surfboards have come out. A bit floatier, less dangerous, and can't help but catch a wave, they are out there. A friend of mine teaches PE at a girl's high school and asked them if they wanted surfing. Ha, he has a team of about 20 or 30 of them out there.

That's awesome!

Good friend of mine here teaches a surfing class that's run through the city recreational department. Mostly very young kids:
