Following Toasted and Bell Jar, Blouse is the third edit Caity Simmers has released in the last twelve months. However, if you check her YouTube account you'll see they're not the only edits; Caity has uploaded all manner of quirky clips with titles such as 760, Batish [that's crazy bruh], and Fantastic Cat, which includes the song of the same name from Japanese musician Takako Minekawa.

It's all very freeform and Myspacey, a visual scrapbook of someone who's curious about culture and aesthetics as opposed to results and contest performances.

Blouse carries on the tradition with Caity's fast and flowing surfing - squint and you'll see shades of Taj - interspersed by moments of joyous eccentricity: first gen video graphics, crude animation, Super 8 vignettes that tell no story about the women's world number one. There's no point in the average punter trying to interpret meaning, they just are.

As Caity is.

Let's put Blouse aside for a moment, zoom outwards, and bring other female CT surfers into the picture, particularly her younger peers. The sweet-natured yet God-fearing Erin Brooks, the doughty broad-accented spirit of Molly Picklum, Bettylou and Vahine, who might once have been the elegant non-surfing models in a Roxy ad but would now spray you in the face as they fly by, and Sawyer Lindblad, who's willingness to play arch-villain - remember her paddling intereference at Sunset last year? - betrays a win-at-all costs attitude.

I've deliberately left out any description of how the above women surf. You see, surfing, even contest surfing, leans heavily on character. A good roundhouse will only get your so far, but if the performance comes with attitude, quotes, or quirks, then the surfer will get noticed and fans will get in their corner. Narratives form, rivalries too, both real and perceived - a natural opposition that makes contests exciting.

So, if you take the above descriptions and place them alongside Caity's art-school aesthetics, then it's clear the women currently have the more interesting and diverse side of the CT draw.

Pick the surfer you click with, the one living the lifestyle you admire, and start cheering cos while the men have lost JJF and Gabs, the women are set for a season of plenty.
