posticon Calling all female surfers!


Hello there my name is Sophie Manning and I am currently undertaking an undergraduate degree in Outdoor Education at the University of Cumbria. My dissertation is investigating what motivates people to surf, specifically the relationship between gender and motivation. I am greatly interested in what inspires, motivates and deters women in surfing.

I would love for any female surfers out there to spare some time to answer a few questions about their surfing and motivation. I have enclosed the questions if you want to check them out and hopefully give me some answers :)
The questions are anonymous and your confidentiality is paramount.

Your experiences and opinions will be highly valued.
If you want to know anymore details about the project, myself or the finished study then you can contact me at: [email protected]


If you could please answer each question in as much detail as possible that would be fantastic!
And email them back to me at: [email protected]

1. How did you first get involved in surfing and when?
2. What is it about surfing that appeals to you?
3. Surfing is a challenging and demanding sport, what motivates you to get back out there after a heavy set back or a bad session?
4. What or who is your biggest influence within surfing right now? (This can be anyone from a famous surfer to your mum)
5. Surfing in the UK is cold and miserable sometimes, what inspires you to get in the water on those dreary days?
6. Have you been influenced by your family, friends or partner at any stage in your surfing?
7. Have you ever felt or experienced gender discrimination in surfing?
8. Do you set goals or future aspirations for your surfing?
9. What other aspects of your life compete with your surfing? Do you have conflicting sports or time commitments?
10. What (if anything) drains your motivation to go surfing?

Many Thanks for you time
Sophie
