One girl with a dream to surf since childhood. I love this beautiful board and would be overjoyed to glide along the water on it!!! How about modeling for T9 on this board?
This surfboard is meant for me. I have always wanted to be a surfer chick… Hard to do without a rad board. In addition, I am certain this board will help me on my journey to shed the pounds. Then one day I can show off my new skills, surfing the waves of Hawaii, as well as my new body in my new T9 swimsuit. Then, of course, my photo will be used in a T9 catalog. Boom, my modeling career takes off!!!! This board is the board of my dreams.
I want to bring the Aloha Spirit to Nebraska. When it snows, I will build a snow wave and snowman surfing in my yard. In the spring it will be a starting line for Easter egg hunts and a serving table for picnics. In the summer it will be a beautiful bench in my garden. When I vacation, I will take it with me and attempt surfing for the first time. In the fall it will be propped against my scarecrow, keeping birds away while amusing friends and neighbors. You can see this prize would be treasured all year long.
Montana girl looking for ocean experience! Wanting to broaden my horizons beyond the snow and mountains…this board is the key! Limited experience, but lots of enthusiasm!
surf limerick
good dreaming is for now not just then
carving waves shooting curls hanging ten
sure now i’m quite old
o’er 60 but still bold
and i’d like to go riding again
It’s my turn to play, to be fearless and courageous like my daughter and all the girls who grew up getting dirty and sweaty and playing with abandon. I will take those dreamt of surfing trips to Mexico. I will take that board and walk to the coffee shop in my desert town with it held above my head like a Laguna Indian pot. I will boast of waves conquered and risks taken and say “Vamanos!”. We’ll have a caravan of Reservation trucks and Subaru’s and carros searching for water with boards on our roofs like stray sheep.
A surfboard isn’t just a ride; it’s a story, and a legacy. When I take my daughter to the beach I talk to her about growing up in a family of surfers, about the changing tide patterns along our coasts, and what it means to use something sustainably. I also talk to her about what it means to be a woman who surfs: about riding on waves set in motion by the strong women who came before us. These stories are my legacy to her, and also Title Nine’s; I would love for this to be her first surfboard.
I deserve this sweet ride because I’m going to live by the beach. I am currently a high school senior, graduating this year in June, and making my way to a coastal college (monterey state). I have been trying over the last four years to become a surfer, taking lessons in the summer in Santa Cruz and Pismo Beach, California. It would be amazing to finally own a surfboard, that I could use in my spare time in college (my campus is across the freeway from the beach), since I’ve never been able to afford one.
In June I will turn 40 years old and be in my favorite place in the world – the West of Ireland. Since visiting Ireland in 1990, I have returned several times. The last trip was the summer of 2006 – my husband and two oldest boys along for two weeks on the Atlantic shore.
By St. Patrick’s Day 2007, I was a widow with our third son on the way. I don’t necessarily “agree” with life’s plan for me, I am determined to make my life greater – and that includes doing things I have never done (like submitting an entry to a sweepstakes or surfing the Atlantic Ocean).
“Get busy living or get busy dying” (Andy Defresne, Shawshank Redemption)
I choose to get busy living! I was almost a grandma last fall and it made think, “I’m reinventing that word!” I want to be the grandma that packs a surfboard not knitting needles, wears a rashguard not support stockings and above all one who’s grandkids say, “Come on gran, let’s hit the beach while the waves are good!” I want that board in our X-mas card to hold memories of our time together and when grandma finally stood up and rode the waves! Now that’s living!
