Smiling because it’s almost the weekend.. what are you up to this weekend? Any sports? The waves have been awful for like 2 months here.. praying 🙏
2021-06-10 19:40:03 +0000 UTC View PostSurfing is my passion. Although I dabble in many sports! My favorite thing about it is sitting on my board in the ocean connecting with nature and myself. It’s really humbling. What’s something you do to connect?
2021-06-09 15:19:02 +0000 UTC View PostLet’s talk about paddle-ing. Super important. It’s what gets you out into the waves, to catch a wave, back to shore etc. my arms were weak as I hadn’t paddle-d in awhile . Here’s a video of me showing you what it looks like. If you’re trying to get into surfing just paddle around !! Get the hang of it. You have to start somewhere !
2021-06-07 17:32:57 +0000 UTC View PostSURF REPORT 6/5 : forecasted lots of seaweed, little to no waves. Will I ever catch a break? Stay tuned!

Sometimes you just have to sit on the beach and relax. That’s a huge part of my life. I try to walk to beach and practice grounding everyday. The earth heals ! Take your shoes off on the grass or the beach and see if you feel better 😘 even though my feet are technically touching a cement wall here.. I was barefoot on the beach all day 😆

Surfing all weekend, what about you?
2021-05-31 00:17:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe most important thing about ANY sport is to be kind to others and have fun. Someone decided to critique me on my last post based off my form on the board. I never once said that my form was good in that post. I was just caught in the moment having fun. That’s all the matters. Who cares if you look stupid as long as you’re having fun. Who cares if your board is not cool, or the waves are small or if you were too far back on the board or whatever the case may be, just HAVE FUN and Be kind to others. 💞

Paddle-ing is one of the more important aspects of surfing. Paddle-ing is how you get yourself out into the wave and are able to push yourself into catching waves. I’m going to release a video soon with the proper technique. Practice practice practice! I love to just get out and paddle around to gain strength !

I can’t say it enough, surfing has been a godsend for me, so thankful I have this sport. It really helps me connect with the earth and raise my vibration. What is something that you like to do?

Wakesurf 101: you can start behind the boat with a rope and then let it go once you feel comfortable in the wave. I’m going to start making in depth instructional videos but I hope if you’re involved in these sports my tip help! The way to tell if you are actually surfing the wave is to use your body weight, to move forward towards the boat you lean your upper body forward, this will put weight on the front foot. To move away from the boat you put weight on the back foot. You can practice moving back and forth til it feels comfortable when you have slack in the rope (not reliant on the rope to stay up) then you’re surfing!
2021-05-17 19:06:54 +0000 UTC View PostSurf Report: 🏄🏼♀️ chaotic/wind!! Weather is super important when it comes to surfing and kitesurfing! Today is a great day to kite as it’s very windy. There are some waves but they are not clean. They have wind chop making them chaotic waves. It’s not fun in this type of condition for me to do either sport. As I continue surf reports you will start to recognize the different elements :🌊💘

Sometimes you have to sit around and wait for a good set. Surfing helps with patience. It also requires balance to sit on your board in the water . I have been going on without waves to practice the basics so I’m ready when there are waves 🌊
2021-05-14 17:46:15 +0000 UTC View PostHave you ever heard of a handle pass? This is something wakeboarders do while riding. You can practice this on a trampoline before taking it to the water. Usually wakeboarders do this trick in the air or on a rail or feature. You start with both hands on your wakeboard handle, as you jump in the air and spin you release one hand, do a 360 and pass the handle to your other hand. Something fun to try 🤩
2021-05-13 18:11:07 +0000 UTC View PostWho likes surf reports? Should I do more of them? Would you like to learn about the conditions?
2021-05-11 13:56:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Make sure whatever you do, is all about fun. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. I used to get angry when the conditions were not ideal, I would take it too seriously. Now I am just thankful I can get out there and surf or whatever sport I am doing. You can apply this to your life... don’t be so serious and be thankful

I went out in the ocean today and just practiced paddle-ing .. The waves were non existent.. since my arms have been so weak I’ve been trying to get more stamina in the water. When the waves are up you paddle a lot and can’t afford to get tired! If surfing is something you want to get into, use those arms and paddle around!

Sometimes the ocean 🌊 can be the most healing place. Even though there aren’t many waves lately I still like to jump in and paddle around. I always feel refreshed. The ocean has negative ions that can help you ground your energy ✨

My favorite thing about the beach is getting that Vitamin D! I always feel refreshed after some time in the sun. Although it’s important to wear sunscreen sometimes it can block your vitamin D production. Vitamin D is essential for your health!

Board tour : this is a wakeboard! Wakeboards usually have boots similar to a snowboard binding. This allows more board control and stability while on the water. You can ride with fins on the board for more traction or without fins if you like to hit rails and ride park!

I’ve been wakeboarding and wake surfing so much this week that I am very sore! Here is one of my favorite stretches I like to do before and after my sports. This stretches the quads and the front of your body. I tilt my pelvis forward to give a better stretch. Make sure you stretch people!!
2021-04-27 17:54:40 +0000 UTC View PostWakesurfing 101 : the cool thing about surfing behind the boat is that you do not need a rope to keep surfing. Usually you need a rope to get up on the board but the goal is to balance yourself in the wave so you can actually ride the wave and not rely on the rope. To balance it’s important to keep your knees bent and hover over the board. If you shift your body weight forward you move closer to the boat, if you shift you weight towards your back leg you slow down. It’s a balancing act!
2021-04-25 16:01:48 +0000 UTC View PostSince I haven’t posted a surfing video in awhile, this is what wakesurfing is! Surfing behind the boat. The boat creates the wave for you and it’s super consistent. So you can surf as long as you’re able! Unlike the ocean which can be finicky !

FRIDAY 🏄🏼♀️ My favorite day! One more sleep til I’m wake surfing this weekend! What kind of information would you like to learn about wake surfing? What’s the best and most fun way for me to show you more about my sport?

Hanging around the beach is my life ! How lucky am I to get to do this everyday 🥲 now pray for waves!! I just ordered a camera that I can use to film myself while surfing alone, how cool is that?!!
