Whether they're threading a barrel or shredding a swell, these amazing
women are making enormous waves in the world of surfing.
If you thought surfing was a male-dominated sport, think again. The
thirty women surfers profiled in this thrilling collection can rip a
wave with the best of them. Hailing from all over the world, each surfer

Duprat on how she got her start sculpting foam; Conchita Rossler,
founder of Mooana Retreat in Portugal, on connecting mind, body, and
spirit; and Australian photographer Cait Miers on empowering women.
You'll also meet surfers who are over sixty, who surf while pregnant,
who captain boats, teach yoga, and make movies. Breathtaking photography
captures these women from every angle, on and off the waves, in some of
the world's most visually stunning locations. The perfect gift for
surfing enthusiasts, this unique compilation of stunning pictures and
hard-won wisdom proves that the thrill of catching a wave, riding it,
and kicking out belongs to everyone.
