So I got kind of inspired after learning how to surf way back in Nicaragua and wrote an article for the lovely McClung’s Magazine.
There are lots of female surfers out in the waves, but a lot of them face prejudice just for being girls and get automatically marked as not being able to compete on the same scale as the boys. While I’m still a beginner myself, this become an issue for all the girls with serious game!
Hey cool! Nice write! Way to get your stuff out there!
Boys can be snobs. Seriously. Anyone who looks down on a woman and says, “You can’t do that as well as a man,” has another thing coming.
I think a lot of the time (especially in the surf industry), its not even a conscious thought. Its just an “unwritten rule” that surfing is more of a boys’ game..!
p.s. Tofino is beautiful!
I’ve never actually been to Tofino, but after writing this article, I feel like its somewhere I’m going to have to stop by!!
