Surfing has been, and remains a male-dominated pursuit. But unlike other sports, where women are largely absent from their early history, females have always been a part of surfing. Of course, women have always been part of the "scenery" of surfing - the healthy, somewhat sexy, youthful ideal. But there have always been women looking to be more than just a beach prop, and no one can argue their place in our history. There are women who surf, and will continue to surf where, when, and how they want, despite what we collectively consider their "role." But this role is forever in a state of flux. How do you market women's surfing so that the most driven can make a career without waiting tables on the side? How do you portray a female without a little sex appeal? How much does sex undermine her actual abilities? Does the competitive hunger counter the essence of femininity? Recently, I was lucky enough to sit down with 21-year-old Stephanie Gilmore on her recent trip to NYC and discuss some of these issues over a pleasant lunch in the West Village.
