There are a lot of female surfers out there with some pretty unique and thought-provoking ideas to share about surfing. So what about what the women have to say?

While we couldn’t gather all of them, here are a selection of a few of the best. Sometimes we think about these when we’re getting ready to go in the water, or when reflecting on how surfing mirrors the ups and downs of life.

So without further ado, here are some of the best quotes from female surfers about surfing:

“Life is a lot like surfing. When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.”
