Women’s body boarding, where is it at right now?
I THINK WOMENS BODYBOARDING IS AT A REALLY EXCITING PLACE AT THE MOMENT. IT IS BECOMING MORE WIDELY RECOGNISED AND RESPECTED AS A SPORT. THERE ARE MORE AND MORE GILRS SHOWING INTREST IN BODYBOARDING AS BOTH A PROFESSION AND RECREATION. IT HAS GENERATED A LOT OF INRTREST IN THE MEDIA – PREDOMINATLY NEWSPAPERS AND TELEVISION, PARTICULARLY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WOMENS BODYBOARDING IS CONSTANTLY GROWING AND EVOLVING AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!
