ON THE WOMENS SURFING INDUSTRY... I attribute the growth in the women’s surf industry to movies like Blue Crush, and TV shows like Surf Girls. I think they showed surfing in a positive light, and showed that a girl can be cute, yet be an awesome surfer at the same time. Of course, we could always use MORE support in the main surf magazines for girls. A company I feel has stepped it up and supported is definitely Roxy; they were the first girls surf brand to really support women’s surfing and the lifestyle. Thanks Roxy! As for women surfers that I feel have gone above and beyond in changing women’s surfing, it would probably be Lisa Anderson. She was the first face of women’s surfing in the modern times. She was a great personality, and a great surfer. u
