Sometimes life feels as if you’re suck in the white wash and you’re getting pounded by set after set after set... it feels like the best you can do is keep your head above water and just keep paddling... • It’s been a tough week here at SSG HQ with most of the time spent in hospital looking after my partner who’s been injured in an accident and the rest looking after two worried kids. While my arms are just so tired from the constant paddling and at times it’s felt like I just couldn’t breathe as another wave came crashing on my head, I’m finally making it out the back and have a chance to rest. • There are moments when we all feel like this. You’re not alone in this struggle. Often though you do need to take your eyes of the wave in front of you to look around see the people who are paddling right beside you, the people who are there for you every step of the way. It’s those people who make these times manageable and just having them by your side gives you the strength to keep paddling. Find your people and let them paddle beside you. • Surfers🏄‍♀️~ @tiemaennchen and @laulea_moana Pic📸~ @gustavomsas • • • #surfsirens #surflikeagirl #surflife #girlsurfers #surfgirl #surfgirls #surfergirls #whitewash #justkeepswimming #friends #friendship #surfing #surfer #surf #wipeout https://www.instagram.com/p/B04GuyZBL3P/?igshid=bfqij1tzlmn8

Something we can all relate to! • The thing is, that none of us are perfect, and none of us are exactly the same... surfing is a great equaliser. It’s a place where we can shed our differences and come together with a shared love. Unfortunately, the broader surf media doesn’t represent this diversity or the lived reality of most women’s surfing experiences. We aim to bridge this gap between reality and surf industry representations (which is just one of the reasons we don’t use pics of headless women or butt shows) by showcasing everyday surfers doing what they love. This is what we’ve been doing for five years and over that time, we seem some positive changes in the way women surfers are represented but there’s still a long way to go! We love it when you share your surf shots with us so that we can show the world what women’s surfing *really* looks like in all its iterations... sometimes it’s pretty, but often it’s more like this! • Surfer🏄‍♀️~ @noshoes_noworries Pic📸~ @mxmsurfphoto • • • #surfsirens #surflikeagirl #surflife #womenssurfing #becausewecan #surfgirls #surfing #surfer #surfergirl #girlsurfer #fridayvibes #reallife (at Manly, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oqrhvB7mD/?igshid=fle54dmmp1ai

It’s time to get active. On Tuesday, Norwegian company @equinor - a company that is two thirds state owned - formally released their draft environmental plan for deep water oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight. They want to drill later this year. Equinor’s own spill modelling sees oil spread along thousands of kilometres of pristine Australian coastline. It would be catastrophic on every level. The plan is before industry regulator NOPSEMA and is open now to public comment for the next 30 days. This is your chance to tell them that Big Oil does not belong in the Great Australian Bight. Submit an objection, ring your local MP, email (or call) Melissa Price, the Federal Minister for Environment. With almost 1 million surfers in Australia, we *can* make a difference but only if we make our voices heard. Our coastlines are too precious to coat in oil. • Pic 1📸~ oil spill clean up in California via @surfriderla Pic 2📸~ @equinor spill mapping • • • #surfsirens #fightforthebight #oilspill #nowaynorway #womenssurfing #cyclineoma #surfgirl #surfergirl #girlsurfer https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKG14BhCK6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jlp3ulto1ssh

Rise, and shine. How did you start the day? Did you wake early and fit in a sunrise surf or did you sleep in, letting your body rest and relax? • Surfer🏄‍♀️~ @trustarling waking with the sun Pic📸~ @mxmsurfphoto • • • #surfsirens #surflikeagirl #womenssurfing #silhouette #surflife #surfgirl #surfergirl #girlsurfer #sunrise #riseandshine (at Manly, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCWZGRhZId/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bo87wmutksa2
