SurfGirl Magazine 79 Back Issue

Rich Tapestry of Surfing

One of the many great things about surfing lies in its diversity. When you’re out there in the line-up, distinctions like race, age, body size, and job status dissolve, and it feels like a level playground.
In this edition, we offer you a glimpse into the rich tapestry of surfing experiences from across the globe. From the icy coastline of Canada to the sun-drenched shores of Jamaica; all where women approach the waves with unwavering determination and deep passion. We talk to surf icon Lisa Anderson, who still rips in her ’50’s, and get to know the rising stars of women’s surfing – Caity Simmers, Sierra Kerr and Moana Jones Wong – who proudly represent the future.
The exhilaration that comes with catching a wave remains constant, regardless of who you are, and in an increasingly digitalised world, this universal joy is one of the most unifying aspects of surfing.
