KAUAI SURFER GIRL... Virginia!
Local Kauai girl Virginia is tall, strong and
loves to surf. While she
does compete locally on occasion, free surfing is where she hones
her skills and develops her style on a daily basis - and boy does
she have STYLE! Let's find out more about her!
WSSM:
Virginia, how long have you been surfing and what inspired to to
start?
VIRGINIA: I started surfing about 6 years ago. Nothing really
insired me, I just saw an old board my dad had in the back of the
house. I took it and taught myself and got hooked to surfing.
WSSM: Now you live on Kauai, but are currently on Oahu
for school. What is the biggest difference in surf vibe would you
say, between the two islands?
VIRGINIA:The difference in Oahu is that there’s way more
people and you have to be really aggressive, rather than Kauai,
which is way more laid back. The people there let you go! Esp.the
Uncles...

WSSM:
Favorite surf spot & grinds on Kauai?
VIRGINIA: I can't tell you where my favorite spot
is, my friends would hurt me real bad. I like to eat at Pono Market
and Ching Young snack shop.
WSSM: What size board do you currently ride and why?
VIRGINIA: I ride 5'11 because that's all I can afford. Longboards
are way expensive.
WSSM: You were recently photo-graphed for the WSSM "Swimsuits
of Summer" photoshoot this past summer. As a model "newbie"
what was your experience like and do you see yourself progressing
towards more action sports modeling?
VIRGINIA: It was a fun experience. I made a lot of new surfing friends
from just that one day. As for progressing towards more action sports
modeling I'll keep my doors open and wait for another opportunity
to come my way.
WSSM: Anything you'd like to say to the surfing community?
VIRGINIA: Keep it real
