We took our daughters to Pismo Beach this spring break in order to all take surfing lessons. They are 11 and 14. Surfing instills both a love and respect of the ocean and a love and respect for your body. Being in the ocean also restores the soul. Having this board would be a great opportunity for our daughters to continue to explore surfing and it’s important life lessons while having fun.

So much entropy
I am a forty five year old mother of three living on Long Island. My children are incredibly active and are always making fun of me for my non-athleticism. Last summer, on a dare, I took a surfing class on the East End that taught me not to fear the water and created a passion for surfing. Even with the Jaws theme song ringing in my ears I am determined to continue this new hobby not only for myself but to teach my girls to overcome their fears and that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Kayla Parcells is one of the strongest willed people I’ve had the luck to know. She may be battling spinal cancer after ten-somewhat years of gymnastics and all-around athleticism, but the important thing about her is her honesty. She will honestly tell you she is sick, honestly hope to still be able to surf and snowboard, and honestly help you forget any woes you may have although hers probably outweigh them. An all-around rad person, I think she deserves a ride of her own more than anyone I know, and anyone I will ever know.
If I were to win this surfboard, I would use the board as a sweet auction item to raise money for orphan relief. My husband and I are in the process of our second adoption from Ethiopia. The need there is unimaginable and the money that would be raised by auctioning off the surfboard would go directly to a wonderful organization that cares for orphans in Ethiopia.
Thanks for considering us!!!

I would love the opportunity to win this surf board so my daughter and I can learn together how to surf and be able to share a sport/hobby. We stay so busy with our lives that we forget to enjoy living. Boys have other hobbies and fathers are able to share in those activities – so for she and I a surf board would be a way for us to connect and enjoy time and God’s creation of the ocean together. Fun in the sun hangin’ ten!
My husband is a surfer, and I would love to join him in this activity, however, I don’t have my own board and was very overweight. I’ve joined Weight Watchers this year and lost 40 lbs. I’ve just run my first 5k and would love to tackle surfing. This would be such an incentive for me to learn a new activity. Please consider me your contest winner. Thank you!
I moved from the Pacific Northwest to Florida about 6 years ago and never did find a substitute for my beloved hiking trails, natural rock climbing columns, tubing rapids, and sawdust jogging trails. My own surfboard would afford me the opportunity to discover a new love in an outdoor world in which I still feel so left out. Sometimes it feels like the only thing that isn’t paved over here is the water…
Some of my earliest memories are of body surfing with my Dad and brothers. Although we never had a surfboard, the thought of surfing was always intriguing. Then, Dad pulled a guy out of the surf with a severe head injury from a surfing accident. Caution replaced intrigue.
Now that I’m 51, there is not much that I want to do that I am cautious about. With a surf board, not only could I learn to surf, I could start teaching my five year old niece. Like surfing, much of your success has to do with timing!
I deserve that sweet surfboard because I’m an Ohio girl living the Florida sweet life without a board. My pal has a whole wall of boards, but nary a one for me. And this one is so sweet that even though I’ve never been on a board my whole life (I prefer to eat sand as a body surfer) I would take it everywhere I go. I would probably mount it permanently on top of my Mini Cooper… And paint the Coop to match!
