The Surfer's Journal - Biographies - Greats of Women's Surfing
Female surfers played a vital role in the sportis Polynesian pre-history. At times, women actually outnumbered their male counterparts at Hawaiian breaks. The situation changed in the 20th century, and female surfers found their influence reduced for the most part to decoration and novelty. Even though long-standing competitions like the Makaha International featured a women's division, participants were few and the intensity of the competition paled in comparison with the men. The first crack in this picture appeared in the 1967 when the Western Surfing Association's created a new 4A division for "professionally-oriented super stars." The movement is most palpable in the freesurfing realm, and one of the 21st centuryis most obvious surfing trends is the explosion of females at beaches everywhere.
