Longboarding is a girl’s sport

by Andrew Norton

Girls glide across the waves with grace and glamour. Men might ride longboards with more power and technical complexity, but women make longboarding look effortless.

Women’s prowess in the ocean should come as no surprise, they’ve been riding longboards for centuries. The first recorded images of women surfers were captured in Polynesia 1819, and preserved in the etchings of author Mark Twain.

If you’re still not convinced that longboarding is for girls, these stunning photos should end all arguments:
