Surfing Waves

hey guys, I'm doing a line of surf wear for my final year and was wondering if any GIRLS/WOMEN could answer a few questions for me, it would be truely helpful. cheers

Age:

Occupation:

1. How long have you been surfing for?

2. Do you feel that women’s surf wear is broad enough or do you think there are other things that could be included, if so what are they?

3. What brands do you buy?

4. What brand would you buy if you could (that are maybe too expensive for you or rarely find)?

5. Do you think that today’s surf wear brands are appropriate for older women who surf? Why? (Ok what I mean by this is not grannies who surf, but people who are like 30+, do you think that they should be wearing say roxy clothing? or if you're young do you think you might like a more sophisticated surf wear brand available to you when you get a bit older?)


(ok I know this next question is a bit silly if you live in a cold country but just on the odd chance that you’ve surfed in hotter climates I’ll put it in anyway.)

6. Have you ever surfed in just a bikini? If so did you have any problems? (e.g. loose your bikini top)


7. what swimwear brands do you buy?


8. What Brands do you find have the most supporting swimwear for surfers (to keep boobs in place when you're surfing)?

9. From a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) how would you rate the following to surf in. (this question is for people who surf in warmer climates and don't need a wetsuit.)
Swimsuit (standard)
Swimsuit (backless)
Triangle bikini
Halter top bikini
Tank top bikini

10.) Do sun tan lines bother you (eg, from rash tops or funny shaped swimwear)?

11.) Do you try to make an effort with your appearance or could you not care less?

12.) What do you wear after you finish surfing?

13.) In short how would you describe the surf lifestyle?

a real surfer wont do it for the brand names, they'll do it for the love of the sport.

Occupation: Mum

1. How long have you been surfing for? 12 years

2. Do you feel that women’s surf wear is broad enough or do you think there are other things that could be included, if so what are they?

3. What brands do you buy? Seafolly, Athleta, Pualani, Point Conception

4. What brand would you buy if you could (that are maybe too expensive for you or rarely find)?

5. Do you think that today’s surf wear brands are appropriate for older women who surf? NO Why? Because they're selling to the youth market and do not want to be associated with older women who surf. All about image luv. They cut their suits for teenagers.

(Ok what I mean by this is not grannies who surf, but people who are like 30+, do you think that they should be wearing say roxy clothing? If you feel good about your self, then wear it.

Or if you're young do you think you might like a more sophisticated surf wear brand available to you when you get a bit older?) what do you mean by 'sophisticated' - exspensive fabric? built in mp3 player? diamonds? better cut? please explain.


(ok I know this next question is a bit silly if you live in a cold country but just on the odd chance that you’ve surfed in hotter climates I’ll put it in anyway.)

6. Have you ever surfed in just a bikini? If so did you have any problems? (e.g. loose your bikini top) Yes. Triangle tops tend to slide where the shouldn't after a wipeout.

7. what swimwear brands do you buy? Same answer as question 3


8. What Brands do you find have the most supporting swimwear for surfers (to keep boobs in place when you're surfing)? Athleta, Pualani and those Freya jobs with the built in bra. I have two Athleta racer back tankini's - look good and stay in place. Pualani - very well made with support and style.

Exactly what the world needs-another surf clothing brand

And why im on 1 how about opening a few more 'surf' shops that dont sell wax/leashes or any hardware what so ever

I live in Costa Rica and I have been surfing for a little over a year, but I go surfing every (and by every I mean every) day and what I would like to see are more longer boardshorts and bikinis that actually stay on.
I have serched the web high and low for longer boardshorts and there really isn't that good of a selection. Alot of the tico guys here are real pervs so walking around in shorter shorts or a bikini is just asking for a hard time.

why am I reading and posting in a topic titled "girls/women who surf"??

I must be mad.
