I have come across a story about a local surfer who I feel warrants posting a feature about her. Her name is Keenan Reeser from Avila Beach. She’s a 17 years old and has only been surfing for three years, (they say).
Anyhow, in the last year or so, she has traveled up and down the coast entering amateur women’s surf contest and has managed to win the Western Surfing Association Open Woman’s Championship.
I get a kick out of the fact that in a surf contest in Morro Bay, there wasn’t any other girls to show up so they put her in with the junior boys where she made it through a few heats and ended up in the finals where she got second place.
A local surfboard sharper Shane Stoneman and Central Coast Fiberglass has stepped up to supply her with a quiver. Esteem Surf Company and Creo Haircare products has stepped up to sponsor the young talented girl too. I guess she doesn’t have to worry about hair car products and her parents don’t have to fork out so much money for cloths and wet-suits either.
I Googled her name in an effort to find an image of her surfing, but her Facebook is set to private and new web-site is just one image. However I did send her a friends request along with the request for a couple images of her to post on my Adrenalin page at MyStupidRules.
Like me she likes to surf in warmer water, and I also had to join the “I Hate Stupid People” group on FaceBook that she belongs to.
Way to go girl, I’m proud of you.
