Cynthia Krueger, Amazing Lady Here, Check Out Her Blog
Hi, my name is Cynthia, and I’m a surf addict.
My addiction began over seven years ago, when I rode a gentle knee-high wave on a waterlogged 10′ foam surfboard in Florida. I was instantly, irreversibly hooked on the feeling. I bought my first surfboard the next day, and spent the summer floundering around in the ocean, teaching myself to surf. My occasional wave-riding successes fueled my addiction and kept me coming back for more. Even an inland move to the upper West Coast, where the 48° ocean was almost three hours away, could not dissuade me. I bought a thick wetsuit and made the trek on weekends whenever possible, which wasn’t often enough. Serious water time at a week-long surf camp in Costa Rica fueled the fire. Then nearly five years ago, I moved to NorCal, a mere 50 miles from the real Surf City, U.S.A., and began to surf regularly about twice a week, the most family and work commitments will allow. It’s close to the minimum needed to sustain my habit. If I’m out of the water for anything approaching a week, I start jonesin’ – needing a fix bad.

Sage Erickson
WEST COAST MEETS NORTH SHORE
At 20 years old, Sage Erickson is a lot like the surroundings of her upbringing – part country, part surf, and full of life. Sage was born in Ojai, Calif., raised on the North Shore, taught herself to surf as a kid and continues to love life as a professional surfer. She is equally comfortable surfing an international contest as she is conducting on-camera interviews ...or hosting a fashion show in front of a crowd full of screaming fans.
It’s that competitive drive and playful spirit that sets this straight-A student apart from most of her peers, both in and out of the water.

Farhana Huq, Brown Girl Surf
Farhana Huq, founder of Brown Girl Surf, first stood on a surfboard at the late age of 26. She didn’t realize this moment would change her life. Farhana fell head over heels in love with the sport which would lead her to start Brown Girl Surf, a unique project that synthesizes her journey to go pro with surfing with a broader journey of finding and supporting the first female surfers around the world. Before this journey, Farhana already had quite a few adventures to talk about. She’s done everything from creating educational soap operas to helping low-income immigrant women start their own businesses in America, to traveling the world to find other female surfers. She began volunteering when she was 14, and eventually worked on issues of homelessness and housing, dance arts programs for youth and anti-war activism for Congo
Maya Gabeira
Maya Gabeira used to go to the beach just to tan. She was 14, living in Rio de Janeiro and dating a surfer dude. She would watch from the shore as he carved up the ocean. "I'd see him coming in with that big smile, all soaked, and I'd feel like I was missing out on something," she says. "So with his support, I started surf school."
Within about 3 years, Gabeira had moved to Hawaii to pursue surfing professionally. Now 24, she holds the women's world record for the largest wave ever surfed, a 45-footer in South Africa.
