board envy

Last week the women's surf movie "Dear and Yonder" played in Byron Bay.

And it was amazing.

I have serious board envy after watching the film. Not only did all of the women featured rip, they did so with a style and grace unique to women's surfing. I love seeing women out there not only surfing, but shaping, being adventurous, hilarious, strong, fearless, and witty.

My absolute favourite part of the movie was all of the boards. Stand outs were the fish and longboards shaped by Donald Takayama and by Bing shaper Ashley Lloyd. If I don't get a longboard of my own soon I might die. Seriously. Dad. I know $1700 for a board seems excessive but it's an investment in my professional surfing career. And Donald just happens to have a shop out here in Byron...





If you haven't seen the film I recommend doing so immediately. Now. Music is wicked. Waves are sweet. Chicks rock.
