About Me

A sister, surfer, an entrepreneur. I like using big words and knowing what they mean. I know the value of a good friend, great conversation, and a perfect glass of wine. I've gone from a corporate stiff to an independent contractor with an unhealthy addiction to the ocean. I like surrounding myself with like-minded individuals, independent thinkers, and revolutionaries. I love the ocean, beach, and outdoors in general, but business is my number one priority, please keep contacting me within work context, I'm not looking for anything beyond friends at this point. I'm not here for "dating" or "serious relationships." I'm not looking for either, nor do I feel myspace is an appropriate outlet for such things.
Here's a little background on what I do.
I've been fortunate enough to work with the best shaper on the East Coast, Ricky Carroll to bring a brand new concept to surfers in Florida. "Beach Side Test Ride," a performance surfboard rental program which allows a surfer to try a variety of different shapes and fin configurations during their session. There's no obligation to buy, and there are 12 boards to choose from, plus a number of different fin configurations. Bring friends and trade among yourselves. I provide board drop off, pick up, leashes, and wax so all you need to do is bring yourself, and be ready to have a blast! The options are endless! Remember, if you try a board and love it, we'll give you a rebate on your next board purchase.
If you aren't in the market for a new board, I also provide an array of ding repair and restoration services to keep your faithful board healthy, happy, and watertight. All repairs guaranteed*, please contact me for rates, or check out my website for guidelines. www.beach-side.com. Typical turnaround is 2 days, depending on severity and moisture levels in the board. (*with exception of delamination)
Pick One!

Starting from 5'8"-6'10". Twin, Tri, Quad Fin setups available.
...or try the 7'4", 9'0" or 9'6" out instead.
Don't be afraid to say "Hi" if you do see me in the water, as I'm a pretty good sport and love meeting new people.

I'd like to meet:

Less baggage is better, please limit yourself to one carry-on. Thx.

Waxing: Perhaps not all pain is gain

The reason why waxing is not more widespread (I'm sensing a pun here), is because it's damn painful. Being a veteran of such masochism, I invested in yet another spa waxing treatment after deciding I ...
