Balancing Act

Rebecca Woods is one of Australia's most stylish and consistent professional surfers. Emerging from the Central Coast of New South Whales, she is now a dangerous and valuable competitor on the ASP Women’s World Tour. Rebecca is also one of a handful of professional female-surfers pursuing both her sporting career and university education.

I caught up with Rebecca and spoke with her on the importance of education as a professional female-athlete, as well as how she keeps her focus and a healthy balance to succeed both in the water and at the desk.

Plane Passion

My experience as a competing female surfer and learning how to shape surfboards.

My favorite surfers all come from the 60's and 70's, the era that surfers shaped their own crafts. Guys like MR (Mark Richards) George Greenough and MP (Michael Peterson) are all unparalleled with their abilities in the water and in the shaping bay. Their grasp of the concepts of design and the relationship created between board and wave are seemingly instinctive. They were the masters of the ocean and their equipment.
