Girls Surfing Has Created A Fashion Movement

The evolution of surfing over the years has been an interesting one. In some ways, surfing is still (the philosophical) man's grassroots one on one connection with nature. All it takes is a surfboard and some waves. The beauty of this sport is in its simplicity. On the other hand, the culture of surfing has virtually exploded over the years. What started out as the hobby of a few diehards has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry that has permeated everything from our speech to our clothing and has led kids all over the world to say "I want to be a pro surfer when I grow up."

Surf fashion has probably made the greatest strides over the last decade - especially girls surfing clothing. Above all, surf fashion says that above all, it's important to be comfortable. The look is about combining west coast beach attitude with all of the hottest surf brands. There are no spike heels allowed with girls surfing clothing - when you think of surf style, think the opposite of Las Vegas.

Surfing started out as a sport completely dominated by men. For many years, the idea of girls surfing and sharing waves with the boys was laughable. Over time, girls carved out their niche in the surfing world and now it is just as common to see a woman surfing as it is to see a man. There are women on the pro surfing tour and the top women's surfers are sponsored by all the best surf brands - just like the men.

As surfing has become a more visible sport, so has girls surf clothing style. Pro surfers' faces are on advertisements and commercials all over the world. Young girls growing up knowing pro surfers by name and dozens of different countries are represented on the pro tour. These pro surfing women have a unique style - one that is completely unique to surfing. The beauty of the surf style is that it is absolutely accessible.

Unlike most of the fresh from the runways trends found in fashion magazines, surf style is all about embracing the beach attitude. It's about being comfortable in your favorite hoody and jeans in the winter and mixing and matching the tops and bottoms of your dozens of bikinis in the summer. It doesn't matter if you wear flip flops everywhere you go as long as you've got on your hottest pair of sunglasses to go with them.

Girls surfing style is all about being at ease in your own skin. Being confident and comfortable is sexier than revealing tons of skin any day of the week. Besides, you're revealing plenty of skin in your sexy bikinis all summer long - that is, before you throw on a rash guard and board shorts to go hit the waves. Now, tell me, what's sexier than that?
