Surfer Girl SALTY Gold Coast Qld Australia

What can a Curvy Girl wear surfing? There is such a problem to find suitable surf gear for a curvy girl. I don't want my bosom to fall out or my butt to be in the air with the bikini bottoms on the floor. I do need bust support. I have been surfing for 36 years and this is what I have found works.  A sports crop top, you have to wear it in the water to ensure the side seams don't give you a rash. I have at present New Balance, Kmart or Ripcurl ones.  The bottoms can me any bikini bottom that comfortable. There is NO more matchy matchy with colours any more. This is you don't have to match colours anymore. Over the top, I wear a men's rashie/wetshirt usually Quiksilver or Billabong. The men's ones are higher up on the neck for sun protection. The bottoms are any lycra short shorts at the moment I have Roxy and Adidas. All of these are available at the Central Park Plaza Ashmore Outlets on the Gold Coast.  Online from there stores.  Surfstitch  Surfstitch has a good r

Growing up and Learning to Surf at BONDI BEACH  I grew up surfing at Bondi Beach Sydney Australia, during the '80s, there were only 4 girls that surfed at the time: Me, Pauline, Prue and Lisa. Bondi is a tiny city beach and in the summer you can only surf on the south end of the beach making it even smaller. It was so crowded that I longed for those choppy blown out days so I could get a wave to myself.  First I had a surf mat then I had a boogie board, I always loved the ocean. I used to ride my bike down and surf on my boogie board then go play basketball in the Bondi Pavillion, with whoever turned up to play. Learning to surf took forever there were no surf schools in existence. It was a matter of getting a surfboard and doing it.  My brother got a Mark Richards Twin Fin and he hardly used it at the time because he was into Rap Dancing, he used to take a ghetto blaster ( a stereo) and dance in the city on the street with friends. I borrowed it and was determined to surf out the

Walking to Sunrise #GC #sunrise #GoldCoast #Australia Walking at sunrise and watching the interactions with the clouds is magic. The early morning is my fav part of the day. So quiet except for the sound of the waves and wind. Only a few people around who rise for this magic part of the day.  Silhouettes one of my favourite sunrise effects.  Love these clever Pelican bird sculptures, made out of engine parts, can be seen at Currumbin Creek near the water.  Keep off your shoes and follow the sun!  This is form the amazing festival at #HOTA #Glow loved it. I love the Sunrise and when you combine this with the ocean, its heaven - therapy and Tai chi in the perfect location. Stay Wet! Salty Love that Ocean! See you out in the surf!

Surfing Mums  and some surfing History about me Salty Surfing Mums Group : Gold Coast QLD- Coolangatta Surfing Mums I also used to go to the Alley Surfing Mums. Time surfed: I started surfing when I was 15 year old on a standup board. I grew up at Bondi Beach a place with the worst surf and  the biggest crowd. In summer you can't even find a place to put your towel. I did all my schooling there. I was always at the beach body surfing and using a surf mat then a boogie board. I was scared that the fiberglass board would hit me that's why I didn't start till I was 15. There were no surf school back then so I learned to stand on my knees first that took 6 months and then stand up another 6 months. I remember catching the whitewash and just dreaming about being able to go out the back and blend in not look like a kook. That's one of the reasons I coached surfing for years because you can learn to stand in 1 hour. Back then there were hardly any girls that surfed a
