"A little preparation goes a long way in making sure your session is safe and stress-free." True but you missed out my number one. Swimming. You need to be a good swimmer and that means knocking out 1km in the pool before you even think about surfing. Given that leg ropes break and conditions can change rapidly (look out for out going tides) it just might save your life ..... or your embarassment. The other advantage is it means you have a bit of paddling power which is the most common problem for beginners.

I love this, Lindsey! I think this sums it up well. As an Aussie teenager surfing before school, my girlfriends and I avoided where all the serious surfers were and never braved approaching the real lineup because we'd get yelled at but if there were more girls in the waves we might have braved it. I love to see you building this community.
