Tell us about an intense or fun surfing memory

A stand out was surfing Haapiti for hours with my husband Christmas morning with no one else out; it was epic! He ended up breaking his board after about 4 hours of mind blowing fun.

Tell us something unique about you as a mother who surfs with/without your kiddos

I like to share waves and I like to get cold and shiver.

What is your most memorable surf moment with your kids?

We were all surfing Seascape on 4th of July and a white shark came up right next to us and was eating a fish. It was pretty funny because my older daughter kept asking me if that was a shark and I was looking off into the distance not seeing it. Finally she said right there mom next to you! Sure enough, I was eyeball to eyeball with a baby great white.

What are some challenges of surfing related to motherhood?

Getting back in shape is challenging after you have a baby. I think having an awesome partner or husband alleviates most of the biggest hurdles.
