Plenty of surfing to be had this summer!

This summer has blessed Maui with tons of surf! I mean tons! It started in early summer and the surf continues on without any long lulls until the next swell. We get a breather of a day or two and then whamo!…surf’s up. This is turning out to be one of the best summer’s for surfing that Maui has seen in a long time. Come and join us for some exceptional waves. Click here for the Maui surf report and weather.

Enjoy and yumminess to you!

JAWS at night?

On Jan. 20th, 2011, professional big wave surfer Mark Visser made history by achieving a night ride on waves measuring 30-40 foot faces off the shores of Maui with specially engineered LED lights built into a buoyancy vest and modified into the surfboard. The lighting technologies were created especially for the project by Solus Corporation using ground breaking NASA submarine lighting to ensure the wave and board were lit in the right places, at the right time and illuminated the wave without hindering the vision of Visser, the jet ski drivers and the helicopter pilots.

A true world first – no one has attempted to ride and capture big waves at Jaws, Maui before in total darkness quite like this. With the help of his team overhead in a helicopter, Visser was towed in by jet-ski as he entered the infamous big wave break just prior to the peak of the swell, completely illuminated.

By the late 1980′s female surfing was really emerging. Lisa Anderson from Florida started a whole new surfing fashion by wearing board shorts with her bikini top. Today this seems like a sensible option while out surfing and the surfing companies all have huge ranges of board shorts for the surfing girl.

Surfing wear is now worn by all and sundry. You don’t have to live anywhere near the ocean or surf to wear labels like Roxy. Female surf wear is now synonymous with good healthy living and vitality. Teenage girls the world over aspire to look like the Roxy poster girls. All the surf companies have been very quick to spot this and bring out their own labels for female surfers. This marketing campaign has been a roaring success with females all around the world.

Female surfing in the US is the fastest growing sport. There has been a dramatic increase in female surf camps like Surf Goddesses and SwellWomen and female surf schools like Maui Surfer Girls. Female surfers have come into their own and are an industry on their own. Now when we think of female surfers, images from the movie “Blue Crush” fill our minds. Gorgeous, healthy, strong girls in bikinis and board shorts surfing their hearts out. This movie has been responsible for inspiring and motivating another generation of young female surfers. “If you want to feel the rush you have to take the risk” was the film’s motto.

No article on female surfers would be complete without a mention of Layne Beachley. As of early 2008, she has won a breathtaking 7 World Titles. She has the best statistics for any female surfer ever and has ridden a 50 foot wave, the largest wave ever ridden by a female. Layne Beachley’s motto is “Never give up”. Great motivation from a great role model for all girls out there.

The new crop of emerging and successful female surfers includes Australia’s Stephanie Gilmore who is the current reigning ASP Women’s World Champion. Sofia Mulanovich from Peru is the current leader on the 2008 ASP Women’s World Tour. (As at March 2008.) Megan Abubo is holding up Hawaii’s long reputation of producing world class surfers.

With Hawaii’s long history of surfing it is fitting that the term for female surfers “Wahine” actually originates from Hawaii. Blue Crush was filmed there. Surfers from around the globe aspire to surf or watch Pipeline at its biggest. Hawaii is a prime location for perfectly situated female surf camps.

Female surfers have been around for centuries. Luckily for all us girls, female surfing is now perceived as a mainstream sport and industry. Today, female surfers are recognized and their needs and wants are being catered for. Feel the rush, take the risk, never give up. Inspiring words for all girls everywhere.
