Girl Surfs World: Surf & Serve No Matter the Conditions

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2014/05/surf-serve-no-matter-conditions.html

Surf and Serve No Matter the Conditions. For the first time in my surfing life, I stopped allowing surfing to be my priority with everything else finding its place around it. I started my career and new life as a flight attendant. I had learned that there was more to life than surfing, yet it was still deep in the fabric of my being. During training I endured ten to twelve hour classes and tests daily. Failing a test meant packing up and heading home, so the stakes were high. God showed me a similar tren...

Girl Surfs World: Living Rich: Haiti

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2015/06/living-rich-haiti.html

Heart broken, I sat behind the glass windows, a removed spectator, peering at the world operating outside of my bubble. I watched the chaos of the city transform into a hilly, verdant countryside, and then finally into beach villages on the coast. Grace by Dawn Gray Moraga. Love Take 3 By Brandon Kari.

Girl Surfs World: A Regular’s Heaven: El Salvador

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2011/09/el-salvador-regulars-heaven.html

A Regular’s Heaven: El Salvador. In my mind’s eye, I can still see Jimmy getting barreled twice at Punta Roca, threading the frothing wave like a needle. I remember the stagnant heat and noise of a local bus rumbling along and then halting to a stop, and the thrill of being launched into a spitting tube in El Zonte. I can still even taste the delicious, fresh pupusas that satisfied my craving after hours of surfing. Grace by Dawn Gray Moraga. Love Take 3 By Brandon Kari. Links to other stories.

Girl Surfs World: Mission Wildlife Refuge: Playalinda Bch, FL

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2012/05/mission-wildlife-refuge-playalinda-bch.html

Mission Wildlife Refuge: Playalinda Bch, FL. A huge aspect of surfing is the journey; the adventure brought by an unpaved, dusty or muddy road ending at a glittering, turquoise sea without a soul in sight. It’s about the anticipation of what type of surf will be waiting there, after exhausting hours of travel. It’s the sweat and tears that lead to the saltwater that wash it all away. It’s the quiet satisfaction of noodle-limp arms following a soul quenching session of wave riding. Katia was one such storm.

Girl Surfs World: A Goodbye Kiss: Puerto Rico

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2012/03/goodbye-kiss-puerto-rico.html

A Goodbye Kiss: Puerto Rico. Dedicated to the memory of Ann Babb. The decision pulsed towards me as I was in the prime spot to paddle into this little, clean wave. So I paddled twice and rode next to a small wall of water as the sun fell away. I didn’t know at the time Ann had passed away early that morning. When I found out the next day, the first thing that came to my mind was the bubbles and thoughts of her during my sunset session, and I knew her spirit was with me. Grace by Dawn Gray Moraga.

Girl Surfs World: Look Before You Leap: Cloudbreak, Fiji

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2011/10/cloudbreak-look-before-you-leap.html

Look Before You Leap: Cloudbreak, Fiji. It was an eighteen second period swell, and three guys severed their boards in half that day at Cloudbreak. One guy got slammed on the reef so hard he visited the hospital. The surf report was wrong; the swell arrived early. We didn't learn this information until after the fact. From the boat I spied one wave reel in at Cloudbreak, and it looked way overhead and freight train fast. Dave said, "Oh, yah, it looks super mellow.". Grace by Dawn Gray Moraga. A Regular&#...

Girl Surfs World: Let Go and Let God

http://ofsurfandsoul.blogspot.com/2014/06/let-go-and-let-god.html

Let Go and Let God. My attention was arrested by a kite-surfer as he harnessed the pure energy of the fierce wind. The kiter flew to a curling wave, dropped in, carved up and down the face, and then soared up and out. He escaped back into the sky as the wave slammed shut, the curtain closed. Envy pumped through my veins as I got pummeled by the volatile whitewater from a wave. I paddled and duck dived to survive in the hectic blown-out surf. A strong gust of wind blew and tugged at my kite. Suddenly, the...
