Las Olas Surf School and La Playa

I blogged about what a wonderful experience I had when I decided to surf with a bunch of strangers in my "Stepping out of Comfort and Into Growth" blog.

Las Olas (Surf Safaris for Women) has a new blog in town!  You can learn more about the wonderful women behind the scenes on their new blog, La Playa (A Community Of Women Who Love To Surf).

Lucky for me, I was featured under their "Saluting Surf Sisters" tab with my story.  Thank you Bev for creating such a wonderful community where women can come together, learn to surf, make new friends and leave home with the belief that anything is possible.

Women of Waves

On Saturday, I went out to support the opening of WOW "Women of Waves" exhibit at the California Surf Museum in Oceanside.  Julie Cox helped put on the this wonderful collection of and history about Women in the sport of surfing.  Not only is Julie a pro surfer, she was the person who taught me to stand on a board two years ago in Todos Santos, Mexico.  Believe me, that was no easy task.  Not only is she an amazing surfer, she is tremendously patient...as I learned first hand.

The exhibit featured influential women surfers, cultural movements, a variety of important surfboards, and surf fashion trends that changed the lifestyle sport forever.
From ancient Hawaiian princesses to today's ASP World Champions, "Women On Waves" gave a historical glimpse inside the female surfing experience.  

The display will be up until January of 2011 so if you are in the area, I would recommend a visit.  

Congratulations Julie for a terrific opening!
