Surfer Dad
Surfer girls are not a recent phenomena; Polynesian women have been surfing for centuries.
Agatha Christie was a surfing sleuth in the 1920s, and the competitive Calhoun Clan shook the 1950s. However, it took Sandra Dee and the film ‘Gidget’ in 1959, to make the ‘surfer girl’ part of popular culture.
Here’s a photographic tribute to those pioneering surfer girls:
