CURL POWER: INSIDE THE FEMALE-LED SURF REVOLUTION.
It takes a brave woman to drop everything to become a surfer — especially in China, where the sport has been virtual-ly non-existent until recent years. Imagine being a girl from the Guangxi mountains, miles from the coast… Monica Guo, who currently holds the title of Women’s Longboard Surfing Champion and has competed as part of the Chinese National Surfing Team, had never seen the ocean growing up.
But from the moment she first stood on a board in Hong Kong, she knew she was home.




Bethany Hamilton - USA - @bethanyhamilton
Her motto: “I don’t need easy, I just need possible.”
Why we love her: Nothing could extinguish her love of surfing — not even a shark attack when she was only 13. De-spite losing an arm, she was back on her board just one month later…!
