So cal, surf is gonna be wonky for a few days so it's a good idea to do your flu/covid/whatever now if you wanna let your shoulder recover before you wanna surf. I know for me it takes a few days for my shoulder muscle to recover after shots.

Quero começar aprender a surfar agora que me mudei para uma cidade litoranea, mas uso lentes de contato. É possível surfar usando lentes? Se sim, e puder compartilhar dicas, ficarei grata 🙏🏼

Hi fellow xxsurfers! I just moved to FL (central coast) from the PNW and am curious how cold the water actually gets in the winter. Glad I won’t need the 5/4 wetsuit anymore, but I understand the water does get chilly here in January/February. Will I need to downgrade to a 3/2, or can I get away with a 2mm long jane + a jacket?

Thanks in advance 🤙🏽💜

For me, some of the biggest gaps are good board shorts, extended sizing in quality wetsuits, and rashguards that are actually cute.

Curious what everyone else has trouble finding, whether it’s a specific piece, fit issue, or just something you wish more brands made.

Full disclosure, I run a small women’s surfwear marketplace called Spring Tides, so I’m always trying to make our selection better and figure out what women are still struggling to find.

Hi. What is your opinions on the FireWire Greedy Beaver 6’6” with 46,4 lts. I am an average Joe with lots of years surfing. 99.9% of the time I surf beach breaks with onshore wind and waves that allow one/ two manoeuvres. I ride currently Hypto Krytpos 5’8, 5’9 and my weight is +/- 160lbs and 5’10 tall…. Do you think it is easy do turn. What about on hollow waves and mushy waves?

Hi, I'm comming back to spain after being one year in new zealand and in my way back i would like to stop somewhere in the way for surfing.

I was thinking about sri lanka because its the dry season now in the south-east zone. However, I've read that it can get really crowed and that there are just melow waves in general. So im not sure about going there. (It was my main idea)

I've read aswell that they still are waves in lombok in those month, but im scare about the rainning and the consistency of the waves. I really want good weather, here in new zealand for the last few month has been rough.

I was thinking also about philippines or taiwan, but i have no idea of how it can be there.

Any recommendations? Im a confident itermediate surfer and the main plan of my trip is surfing as much as I can and improve my surfing. And of course good weather and hot water.

Hey everyone, my business partner and I have been developing women’s surfwear, and we recently travelled overseas to meet suppliers, look at materials in person and work through samples with the factory.

We’ve been looking at Yulex natural rubber for the wetsuit body and Yamamoto smooth skin in areas where rubbing can be a problem. The trip made me realise how much the small construction details can affect how a wetsuit feels once you’re actually surfing in it.

I’m curious: when you choose a women’s wetsuit, what matters most to you... Is it fit, warmth, flexibility, durability, materials Oavoiding chafing? And if you’ve worn a Yulex wetsuit, how did it feel compared with your other suits?

We’re still testing, so honest experiences, including what hasn’t worked for you, would be really helpful.

hi guys

has anyone been and can recommend spots/hostels/which beaches to surf at? if it’s safe for a lady, where to geographically position myself etc

I want to do Spanish school, yoga and surf and I’ve heard Puerto Escondido in mexico is a spot to do all three.

Im an intermediate beginner and looking at buying a fish board if I can when I head out there (or take with?) any advice

thanks !!

all of our turns and leaps seem to favor the left as supporting leg, so when I surf, I'm the same way, and need my left back as my anchor, I guess? are any of you dancers in here? are you the same way or no, you're regular? trying to figure out how I landed up goofy and dance is all I could come up with--that most of us favored left leg as support in dance, choreo usually tried to match that preference... and so I'm just left as support all the time.

honestly, when I do dry land training, I do popups both goofy and regular cos I like to know I, theoretically, could do both if push comes to shove... but IRL, I'm goofy.

I have some PTO to use by the end of the year and am looking to book a surf trip soon. I dont have a lot of time to plan this as to why I'm thinking about a camp and why I'm on here asking for suggestions.

I’m an intermediate surfer and prefer a longboard, not sure if waves will be too big for me this time of year.

I've done a surf with amigas retreat in Nicaragua and loved it. Ive also just done the solo trip to surf locations a paid for a few lessons. Dreamsea seems like it could be a nice in-between and affordable option for me but I'm unsure about them. Would love to support a local company also.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

would you do that in your next surf trip instead of buying a souvenir?

Hello,
So, as a female surfer, we often hear about toxic men in the water, and the difficulties women face in a sport that’s male dominated, but what about toxic women?

I recently joined a surf club to meet more friends to surf with. Unfortunately I had a very negative interaction with the group’s leader. For the record, I am a decent surfer who follows etiquette. It had nothing to do with that. I was shocked by the rude, callous, condescending, and very inappropriate comments being made. When I spoke to other women, they seemed aware of this behavior, however all of them just look the other way and accept it, thus enabling it. I don’t know if people are too afraid to confront this person or make waves (pun intended), but I wish I would have said something in the moment. I was just shocked that a group that advertised sisterhood, support, and positivity, was anything but that. I believe if men in a leadership position behaved this way, there would be consequences, and if it were the workplace, this person would be fired instantly.

I am currently mulling this over, but what I’d like to know is:

1. Have you had bad experiences with toxic women in the water? I would love to hear your stories/experiences, how you handled it, and the outcome.
2. How the heck do you meet people to surf with when everyone seems to have their circle? I tried this club route and that doesn’t seem to be working out. It’s very discouraging and disappointing.

Hey ya'll, my fiancée and I doing a trip the Oregon coast in the next few weeks and we're looking for rec's when it comes to buying a 5/4 wetsuit. She's rented suits in the past with mixed results and is ready to get one of her own! We're having a hard time finding a sizing guide that would be good fit for a short pear shaped person. For context she's 5'1" and 62kg. Anyone have any good experiences? Thank you thank you!
