This image that I captured during this year's Rincon Classic is pretty trippy, don't you think?  Like something out of a Jules Verne novel...

“THE WOMEN AND THE WAVES” BUST OPEN THE DOORS OF THE MAJESTIC VENTURA THEATER THIS WEEKEND

Surf Film Celebrating Women Who’ve Paved the Way is An Official Selection of the Ventura Film Festival

 

(VENTURA, CA. — July 2, 2009)  “I never wanted to surf like a girl,” smiles 64-year-old surf legend Linda Benson, “But now it’s different…they’re really good!”  For women who have paddled head-first into a once male dominated sport, surfing is not only a daily passion, but a way of life.  Battling fierce tides and stereotypes, female surfers from every decade are connected by a common thread:  they are “The Women in the Waves.” 

This Sunday, July 5, 2009 @ 6pm, The Women and the Waves presented by Surf Her Skin Care, screens at the Majestic Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut, Ventura, Ca.  Shot in High Definition in California, Mexico and Hawaii, the independent film features surfing legend, Linda Benson, 80’s champion, Kim Mearig, musician and shaper, Ashley Lloyd, and more!  Producer Heather Hudson will be in attendance for a Q &.A following the 48 minute film.  “I wanted to give recognition to the women, famous or not, who have paved the way for other women to surf.  Each generation has made it easier for the next to get out in the water.”
