RIP CURL PRO SEARCH ARICA: DAY 2

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The surfers are starting to stress. Adriano de Souza is still in the hospital with 15 stitches; 5 internal and 10 external. Under ominous gray skies, the day starts off with an all South African heat and building swell. Royden Bryson sets the tone with another body to rock slap-down; Travis Logie wins the heat without relish: “We thought it was going to be a fun heat, but it was actually a bit heavy. I snapped a board and Royden landed straight on dry reef, and I think he’s a bit concussed actually. He paddled back out and he was throwing up so I’m a bit worried about him.”

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Although surfing was a male-dominated sport, adventurous women surfers can be seen all the way back to the times of the Polynesian Queens. Two notable ’surfer girls’ were Eve Fletcher and Anona Napolean. Eve Fletcher was a California-born animator for Walt Disney and Anona Napolean was the daughter of a respected Hawaiian surfing family. The two pioneered the sport for modern women, winning surfing competitions up and down the California coast at the end of the 50s and into the 60s.

Surfing - Unaffordable Sport?

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Though surfing requires little equipment, the surfboard and the wetsuit can be expensive. The leash and the wax are not really that expensive, especially if you use them carefully and thus don’t need to buy extra ones every month. However, affording the purchase of a surfboard and a wetsuit is not for everyone and thus, you’ll need to consider your possibilities if you are planning to start practicing this sport.
