A fun feel good, all-girls surf film, not serious just for fun. Featuring Stephanie Gilmore, Nikki Van Dijk, Tyler Wright, Macy Callaghan and Dimity Stoyle.
I’m not sure how you can make the performances of such great surfers seem uninteresting but here you have it. The redeeming feature was the elevated shots of Steph and Macy at one of the sand bottomed rights, which it seems these girls surf to the exclusion of all other breaks if given the option.
Surf girl bubble gum for 13 year olds isn’t really aimed at middle aged blokes, I guess.

Reassuring to see that even world champs get skittled on the rocks.
Dimity ripping, good barrel style on that superbank section

Agreed, some of those turn to barrel combos were pretty slick!

She rips. I can’t remember seeing her surf before?

Tyler rips. She has really progressed over the last 2-3 years.

It was just a fun way to start a Monday - bubble gum? I guess it counters testosterone fueled grunt of 90% of most other short films.

What's not to like!
Fit, attractive girls ripping in good waves and appearing to have a lot of fun doing it.
Thumbs up from me.
BlowinTuesday, 29 Jun 2021 at 11:22am
Yep. Liked it much more the second time round.

Yep, those girls were ripping, especially the barrel riding. I'm thinking they surf better than 80 or 90 % of guys.

Here is one for the punters, name a successful female shaper.

I suppose around 500 boards.

Wyld Wymen surfboards. They got a government grant to design a board suitable for the anatomy of female surfers. Think they might have got $20K in the 80’s which was a fair chunk of cash back then. Though I’m sure the resultant boards will be well worth the long wait.

I remember that. Bunch of chicks from around Byron area and the 'boards' were just fibreglass versions of body boards supposed to be 'shaped for the female anatomy' like you said.
After a bit of hype in the Aus surf mags of the day the story pretty well disappeared. They probably went to the Nimbin hinterland and spent the grant on bud.
