Sport Interests: I love to golf, surf, run, swim and sail.
How I got started in sports: I grew up around the Otay Lake Reservoir in Spring Valley; let’s just say there was plenty of back country to get lost in. And I took advantage of it. I also had a pool, and it was hard to get out of it with perfect San Diego weather all of the time. I started surfing in my senior year of high school and have been surfing ever since.
Athletic achievements: Sun Diego/Ezekiel Contest Series 3rd over all shortboard, 2006 Roxy Wahine Surf Classic @ San-O 1st Place longboard, 2007 Doheny Club Contest @ churches 2nd Place shortboard. And my free surfing is always improving; I would say that is my biggest achievement. I can ride any board put under my feet.
Athletic goals: To master every style of surfing, to always love and live in peace, and always have fun. Exercise is so important for your soul, and I feel fortunate to have found my call in surfing. I will be doing it forever.
Inspiration: I ride the best boards on the planet ( I feel ), my husband is my shaper and he can make me any kind of board I feel like riding. He has so much knowledge of the ocean and surfing and loves to share it with me. He also is my golf partner. My soul is my guide and I have a wonderful family who is close and support me.
Philosophy: Let the free wind take you higher.
Favorite spot to do my sport: I love San Diego surf spots from the Cliffs to Swami’s. Anything past that is a trip. My husband and I migrate every year up to Malibu for a mind blowing surf session. (my favorite)
Favorite Girls4Sport wear: Neoprene racer back wetsuit
What I do when I’m not in the water: Think about the water and wait out whatever is holding me back from it. I surf everyday if I can, beyond that I just do normal stuff. Cook, clean, do laundry, go to work a little bit, and love my husband.
My job: I work at Pacific Beach Surf Shop, andLet the free wind take you higher. take care of my husband.
Education: Surf school
Interesting/unusual facts about me: I was born in a motor home, in the red wood forests around Humboldt County, CA. My parents were, and still are hippies. I am going to have my kids the same way, but not in the woods or a motor home, just at home. My Grandfather will be 100 yrs old in April of 2007. Can’t wait for that, he is an iron horse!
In my own words: When you hit the bottom, you only have one way to go - up. Always keep your eyes on the horizon, Mother Nature is as strong as she is Beautiful.
