Is it just me or does every woman have a wild surfer girl fantasy running amok in her head from time to time? Surfing still ranks on my top ten things to do, but lately I'm starting to wonder if I will ever put a plan into action.

It's stories of mermaids, dolphins, and sea turtles that make me wonder what's out there; however, in all honesty the ocean feels slightly daunting to me. I grew up with lakes, rivers, and streams. For a woodland girl, the power of the ocean is both alluring and frightening all at the same time.

For now I'm content to live in the mermaid fantasy found in my head and construct this ocean inspired necklace with my dolphin and sea turtle charms. I do hope it's fit for a real surfer girl with its sporty, aquatic colors.

I couldn't resist adding this small turtle charm off the back as a hidden feature. I thought it would be fun to feel like a baby turtle was riding on your back while surfing the waves!
Are you a surfer girl? What keeps you going back to the ocean for more? What's the outlook for learning surfing after 40?
Do it! Book a lesson! And let us know how you get on! My poor wetsuit has been abandoned over the last few years but now we've moved back to the sea it is just about time to dust it off again!
ReplyDeletehaha! you surfer girls are all so daring, Laura :) Here I was planning on thinking about it for a couple more years. I love it! Thanks so much for the enthusiasm and encouragement. Hope you get out riding the waves again soon.
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely a surfer girl. I spent a couple of years of my early childhood living in Hawaii and then moved to Southern California where I've been ever since. I prefer body surfing to board surfing, but have done both. My Dad was still surfing at 70 so learning at 40 is no problem. Just find a good teacher! That necklace - and especially the dolphing pendant - is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly for enjoying this dolphin! What fun to know your father was still out there riding the waves at 70. I'm feeling more encouraged to take the plunge and look for the right learning experience.
