Good to see the sport changing, especially with my daughter looking up to others around her. In Fact she was paddling off talking to them getting advice on stuff i couldn't help with, like hair, bathers under wetsuits all that stuff

Even things like getting changed on the beach for a girl is so different than for guys.
Wow that's awesome your daughter is into it!! How old is she??
Yeah I'm a bit of an in-car dresser :)
The jury is still out for me about the bathers under a wetsuit! Maybe an all girl thread post on this might help! Lol!
The interesting thing I have noticed, girls, especially the ones I surf with, all offer constructive criticism - like - you looked down then etc that's why you feel off. Someone I know who is a surf coach has said there is no way boys/men would talk to each other like that.
Regardless, I love it and being in the water with boys or girls is just as awesome :) Actually that's a lie - being in the water with cute boys is even better :)
