10 REASONS TO LIVE THE SURFGIRL LIFESTYLE…

1. Health — you’re going to end up toned, fit and healthy, bursting with energy and stoke.
2. Culture — the films, art, literature, music, fashion and parties are great, and our sport has a long and fascinating history.
3. Hot men — as if we were going to miss that one out!
4. Beauty — tanned (safely!), toned, smiling, natural surf girls — what could be more gorgeous!
5. Environment — you can’t help but get an appreciation for and concern about this beautiful earth that we live on, and that can only ever be a good thing.
6. Spirit — something about being immersed in the ocean for hours and hours gives surf girls a different take on life and spirituality.
7. Fellow surfers — you will meet some amazing people, guaranteed.
8. Travel — surfers are roamers, and whether you only ever explore your own county or travel the whole globe, you’ll expand your horizons and mind.
9. Competition — if it’s your bag, you can have fun, make friends, prove yourself and earn money, if you work hard at it!
10. Attitude — surf girls are more relaxed, happy and open. Life’s problems seem better after a some time spent with Mother Ocean…

So get out there! Okay, maybe not today – it’s freeeezing and the north coast of Cornwall looks crazy, as if Poseidon has been blowdrying his hair for way too long – but there’s just nothing like the feeling a good surf gives ya!
