Women's surfing
The earliest recorded incidence of women's surfing concerns the mythical Kelea. Kelea was born of royalty in Maui, it is believed she out-surfed riders of both genders. A few centuries years pass until the mid-late 1800s, when Thrum’s Hawaiian Annual reported that women in ancient Hawaii surfed in equal numbers and frequently better than men.[1][2][3][4][5] Women's surfing in Australia has a popular following amongst female participents.
In the muslim world many women are taking up surfing.[6][7][8][9][10][11] [12]
