Would love to hear from the girls.

Are there female lurkers out there or is there just no female surfers following Swellnet?

Always wondered why the lack of any female presence here.

Hahah have wondered the same thing about the southern states... Always a more notably skewed ratio in the water than on the east coast

You mean less girls in the water in southern states than east coast?

Yeah expect less but heaps more girls than there use to be though, seems to come in little waves/groups, but same with little waves/groups of grommets.

The thing i really notice around where i live is girls on skateboards, i honestly see more girls on skateboards now than guys, which is pretty cool, in the 80s the odd girl surfed but there was no girls skating, now even real young girls are cruising around on skateboards.

@wishiwasyounger

Cool i knew there was some Swellnet girls out there.

Yeah i do have a daughter but she is only 6.

But the reason why i started the thread was today it came up in conversation in another thread.

Pauline was my fav of that era.

Almost seems disrespectful to post it here, but reports are that Mara Wolford has been found dead in Bali.
She was a regular on Beachgrit and wrote some great articles in White Horses. Don’t know the full back story. RIP.

I think I can remember one of her stories saying how she lived in Indo with her young son? Sad for him if it’s the same lady I’m thinking of.

Great topic Indo, was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe some of the contributors are female but we just assume, based on their aggression, swearing and mind-numbingly stupid arguments, that they're male? Quite possible on this basis that Dale, Vic and BB are actually chicks.
