Las Cubanitas – Our Article in Surfgirl Magazine (UK)

This March, James and I met with Cuba’s female surfing population, all two of them.

Lorena is the only female bodyboarder in Cuba and Yaya is the only female stand-up surfer.  These passionate women inspired us to write their story about what it’s like to live and surf in a country where educated people live off government rations, surf shops don’t exist and waves go unexplored because people don’t have cars or gas to get to them.

Here’s the article from this months Surfgirl Magazine, available in The UK and Europe.
