"Being part of this community of incredible females has boosted my confidence & drove me to paddle out to the Backline more often. At first, I felt intimidated because there were sooooo many males out! Then I started paddling out with the ladies and we were quite the bunch - family waves, good laughs and just learning so much about each other and surfing. I've learnt so much from these amazing souls over the months and can't wait to meet the rest of the babes!!"
