After arriving home from a contest in the Maldives, I heard the Rock to Rock paddle race was going to take place in three days, June 21st. Even though I had not been on a paddle board since the same race two years ago, I thought what the heck, let's do this! The Rock to Rock is a 22 mile...

I think rollerblading is high-action. There are various places to "roll-or-blade": the beach, the clubs, with your pets, tanning booths etc. I think they should make mini rollerblades for dogs. That would be cool. You definitely need a good pair of short shorts to be a true rollerblader....

The hardest part of traveling is deciding which surfboards and clothing you are going to take with you. It's almost as difficult as a girl packing only one cute dress and a pair of high heel shoes. The problem with me is that I am not only a girl, but a girl who surfs! I love bringing not only...

I've tried to be an actress a few times. There was Jr. High drama class, one year of high school drama, a few skits back when i was going to church camp in the summers, but nothing too serious. As a blonde haired surfer girl living in LA with that "classic Californian" look, i've been invited to...
