Grandmas Gone Surfing
Aging.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Single.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Female.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Surfer.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm on a road trip down south, to my adopted home town. There's a beach here but haven't been any waves. And since there are no surf cams/surf reports for this beach, it's a long round trip I've made three times for no waves.

WHERE ARE THE OLDER WOMEN SURFERS? I surf New York City and Long Island, and while there are lots of bald and gray haired men in the water there (and everywhere), you rarely see women over 40. Why is that? I started trying to surf at age 43. That was July 3, 2003. And while I am not a grandmother (that I know of yet)I do have a 22 year old son. I surf, swim, bike, ski, and have no intention of sitting in a rocking chair anytime in the next 30 years. I hope to find some similarly inclined surf sisters.

Inspiring.
i just discovered your blog while I was searching for sailing blogs.
the title intrigued me...
Now i have to learn to surf.
i just turned 44. this will officially be my last birthday. If i don't have them I will never get older...it seems logical to me, like...chocolate is a vegetable. Hey It grows on a plant!
Anyway, I grew up in sunny surf crazy southern california, with the tastiest waves and the hottest but arogant dudes.
I wanted very badly to surf. I have a deep connection to the water, and especially ocean. so here I live in Michigan, and have pined away for the past 20 years raising my three sons. Oldest 20.
I didnt' learn to surf because I had many boyfriends who did, and well they wanted to hog all the glory to themselves, and I was always intimidated.
But still I yearn for the warmth of the sun.
So now I am learning to sail small racing type dinghys. Its not surfing but it gets me out on the water... aND i AM rediscovering myself outside the identity of mother, wife,public school teacher.
I think you set an example for not only those of us who are older than twenty five, but younger women as well. AND QUIT CALLING yourself OLD. YOU ARE NOT.
Keep riding the wild surf and providing a reason for all of us to look at ourselves in a different light......A good one, that doesnt show off all the wrinkles and expression lines.
