My six month Surf Pray Love hiatus comes to a close in a couple of days. It was really great to take time away from the usual routine, but I had to make some really hard decisions during my time off also. One of them being the decision to close down my clothing company. I [...]

My surfer girl super hero will learn karate to fight off bad guys and so I will need to know karate to properly write and illustrate my graphic novel. I took my first ever karate class tonight and let me just say I rock at it. Maybe my chinese genes came to play but I [...]
Leaving California again…

So this surfing trip is over and I’m leaving California again. But time it’s different, I feel different. I can leave California knowing that I did accomplish something. I picked up surfing again, got myself back into shape (which I wasn’t sure I could) and I bonded with my family in a new and different [...]

Goodbye to Pepe He served me well He wanted to be set free Across the freeway of the 55 The straps that held him broke He flew up into the sky a firecracker His fins shattered twinkling stars Be free Pepe Be free
Surf Girl Magazine

This is the women’s surf magazine that I found at Borders the other day. I think its awesome. Of course, it’s published in the UK. I find most awesome publications are published in the UK. They have much higher standards with all their magazines. Overall, the paper is nicer, the design is always cooler, and [...]
Huntington Beach Surfing Day Nine

By the way, if you ever wondered what 54 degrees water felt like to surf in? It feels like f**king ice water. It was 67 degrees today and the sun was shining but my teeth were chattering and I could not feel my toes or fingers. My session didn’t last long at all because I [...]
Why do we let guys have all the fun?

For weeks now I have been searching for a surfer magazine for women and I finally found in – and in a really random place, Borders in Brea. What I have realized though is that we, women-as-a-whole, need to have more fun. I noticed this as I was looking through the “Sports and Recreation” magazine [...]
Huntington Beach Surfing Day Eight

Urg. No surfing today even though I got all suited up before I read the surf report: poor. very choppy. 2 to 4 surf height. 8 seconds surf period. 64 degrees water temp. So I decided to not get into the water today and run errands instead. Now I understand why in ancient Hawaii, when [...]
Something better than surfing…

This week I’ve been doing better than surfing, I’ve been bonding with my family. I moved away from Southern California in 2002 so I haven’t have serious face time with them for about eight years. A lot has changed since then! And while I’ve been here, they have all a bit of my time so [...]
Huntington Beach Surfing Day Seven

I have reclaimed the sea! Pepe and I went back into the ocean yesterday and had a better surfing experience. It helped that I took a few days off to rest my sore body from my last not-so-happy surfing experience. I had to regain perspective, to realize that this is supposed to be fun and that [...]
