Sharing Sisterhood through Skateboarding

Chantal shares her skateboarding with the blog because “empowering other women & girls is a good way to spread fellowship & sisterhood”.

Yes, what she said!  Skateboarding is sport, art, transportation, exercise, and builds self-confidence plus when you share it with others you are inspiring them to try new things.

It’s always better to be the girl who believes she can do & succeed at anything than the girl who’s too afraid to try.  Empowered girls support girls to follow their passions and wish them success at whatever they do on & off the board.

It’s so good to see more girls skating!!! It’s always a motivation!

More girls really do try skateboarding when they see stylish girls skateboarding and get encouragement.  Hope you share your story like Janina did!

Checking out Leus Towels in Cardiff

The pineapple is recognized as a traditional expression of “welcome” throughout the South and in areas along the Eastern Seaboard. Appearing on all sorts of décor – from door knockers to quilts – the fruit symbolizes those intangible assets we appreciate in a home: warmth, welcome, friendship and hospitality.

I’m on the west coast & I love pineapples.  Pineapples make me smile.  I’ve had them on my phone case – which gave it’s life protecting my phone and now they’re on my new beach towel.

My pineapple towel is by LEUS.  They are new and here to promote good vibes thru a

collection of towels with a diverse array of high definition photo prints, eclectic graphics, and unique jacquard and Turkish wovens

The pineapples on my towel are an example of the high definition photo prints.  The beauty of the pineapples jumps out.  I knew immediately that the pineapple towel was my favorite from the collection.

What’s your favorite?  You can check them out on IG or on-line or better yet come to Cardiff by the Sea & get LEUS at Camp Shred!

Cardiff by the Sea is my home so if you visit be sure to let me know what you loved about it.  Yes, Cardiff is like a pineapple – warm, welcoming & a fabulous place to play with friends new & old.

 

Marcela Having Fun Rolling

Marcela shares this video of having fun rolling.  She’s in Lagoa Do Araca – Imbiribeira – where she says #girlsjustwannahavefun

Where are you having fun on & off the board?  Girls supporting girls is stylish all around the world, so hope you share your pictures and stories soon!

International Women’s Day was yesterday – March 8th.  However, for real & lasting change we need to celebrate & encourage all people everyday.

 

 

Anna Loves Longboarding

Anna shares this picture and why she loves longboarding.

My dad introduced longboarding to me about 3 and a half years ago. I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it. I thought it was so much fun and I liked the constant challenge it provided for me. At first it was hard for me to ride, but once I could, I wanted to learn to ride faster and faster. Once I was faster I wanted to learn tricks. I still want to learn more on a longboard and I will always have more to learn. I like this because then I will never get tired of it. I love that I get to be outside while I ride. I enjoy being outdoors and going to different parks and places to ride my board. It is a great way to sight see in new places and get exercise. 

     I have gotten a lot of my friends to join me in longboarding which makes it even more fun. I ended up getting a large group of girls together that all skated in the evenings. We would all meet at parks and go for long rides together. It was really cool for all of us to be able to do something together that felt different and adventurous. Most people don’t think girls would go out and longboard so it was fun to show everyone that we could. I think it is important for girls to get out and have fun and do something different. Girls don’t always have to do girly things. They can longboard or do whatever else they want to do. 

     I have gone off to college now so I don’t have that same group that I did during high school. But every time I come back home we longboard together. It is something we all have in common that really brings all of us together. I miss boarding with them, but I still ride around by myself here at college. I hope to find some more girls I can skate with where I am now or to be able to introduce more to longboarding. 

Thank you Anna!  I love how she shares her love of longboarding by getting more girls to try it and that no matter where she goes it’s something she has fun doing.

Will longboarding or any type of skating be easy at first?  Probably not but enjoy the process – it’s an adventure that never has to end.

By the way Anna doesn’t just share longboarding tips she teaches a weight lifting class at her college.

And sometimes she takes her adventures off the ground.

Happy International Women’s Day!  Hope you celebrate today & everyday by cheering on all people to chase their passions & pick adventure.

 

Sunwoo Skateboarding in the Garage

Love this video of Sunwoo skating with friends in a garage.  She’s so graceful.  Freezing weather kept her away from skating but now she’s back and having fun!

Check out her account to see more of her videos and tell us where your favorite place to skate is.

More girls skate when they see stylish girls skating and how fun it is!

Skateboarding is Fun Exercise

Leticia’s caption for this video is absolute truth

What an awesome morning longboarding with my girls @chazfab1 @linzmc623 no gym…just some good ole fun☺️ maybe a little cardio 3:86mi.

To me skateboarding is sport, art, transportation, exercise, rolling yoga, and builds self-confidence.  It’s definitely a core workout because you have to balance and I think cardio too because of the pushing.

Leticia is in Litchfield Park, Arizona having fun skating with her friends.  Where are you having fun?  More girls skate when they see girls skating and how much fun they’re having.

One of her favorite places to skate is

She’s a Team Rider for Smile Longboards and is grateful to have the opportunity to introduce more girls to the fun of skating.

More girls skate when they see stylish girls skating so I’m very grateful to Cristina and Smile Longboards for showing the world #girlscanskate.

Wherever you are in the world, whatever level you’re at, if you’re having fun skating share your pictures & stories to inspire even more girls to try skating.

 

This Skatergirl’s Meaning of Life

I love Kristie’s caption for her video

Life was meant for good friends, and great adventures.✌??

Yes, it was.  She’s cruising on the Interurban North Trail.

I had to look up what the Interurban North Trail is

The Interurban Trail between Seattle and Everett stitches together a dense residential and commercial patchwork that the original electric railway helped to grow in the early part of the 20th century. The 24-mile trail also goes through the communities of Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, and Lynnwood. It skirts two regional malls (Alderwood and Everett), a casino, and an abandoned drive-in theater, among other businesses.

to find out more check out Trail Link.

More girls skate when they see girls having fun skating and we all learn our geography as girls from around the world share where they are keeping it stylish on & off the board.

thanks so much Kristie!

Wishing everyone  fabulous adventures on & off the board!
