Aloha and welcome to the spring edition of WSSM.

Spring is best known for fresh flowers that will burst into bloomaround us, showcasing bright, vibrant colors galore, so in keeping with the spirit, we thought we'd give you a visual treat and present you with another colorful spring edition of WSSSM, all for your viewing pleasure.

Now for all you surfer monnies out there, we've included a special "Happy Surfer Mother's Day" collection that will give you a taste of all the goodies oout there that have been inspired by extreme sport mothers, specifically like you, along with some inspiring interviews with those who have faced the challenges of beign a wife, mother, and still at heart... a surfer! (As you might have noticed, we even placed a surfer mommy on the cover!1 We love surfer mommies!!)

Another column you'll want to check out is the new WSSM's favorite Spring Bikini lineup, featuring swimwear for beach days, moderate surf, and even big wave bikinis that actually stay on!. And they're modeled by real surfer girls and bodyboarders. Cool.

We've included more qoutes to inspire you throughout the coming months & some easy to prepare yummy meals that are perfect for that next get-together with friends, and of course, more

interviews with surfer gals from as far away as Maine, to Florida, to tropical Hawaii. These women surf because they love it, and their lives are changed for the better becuase of it.

If this sounds like you, and you want to someday see yourself in WSSM, all you have to do is send us a small bit about yourself, why you love surfing, what it all means to you along with a photo, and you can look forward to seeing YOU in a future issue.

We hope that you will enjoy this issue that we've worked very hard to bring to you, and we encourage you to also take a minute to really look at the advertisements that are in it as these are the folks that keep WSSM available FREE to you, and we appreciate their supporting the women's surf industry.

As you might know, WSSM is a launching pad for new companies and products fresh on the scene for surfers, and more specifically, surfergirls, so give them a few minutes of your valuable time to notice and appreciate the companies that are just as stoked about surfing as you are.

Have a wonderful spring, and we’ll see ya in the lineup!
