Butterfly Effect 100+ girls at the beach!

This week seems like a Girls Power week! After doing the KB for girls camp , now we have a Butterfly Effect event. This is I believe 4th annual event organized by one of the top winfsurfer/surfer/ fun loving watergirl Tatiana Howard. She started this event just to get all the girls together and have fun but now as the event name say it all, it has an butterfly effect and they are going global. having event in Tahiti, Fiji, Dominican republic, Oregon, etc. and every place has its own venue but the purpse is the same, get all te girls together and have a good time in the water and also help each other.
This year, we donate some food, used clothers to help local community. and many of the sponsors gave the participants all kinds of goodies.

The day of the event was a bit nerve wrecking, usually in May, we dont get big waves but today it was about 6ft and onshore, not so easy for most of the girls who came. Tatiana had to decide to do the downwind run from Sprecklesville which was very wise. Of course they are some girls who can handle and may want to challenge but one serious injury or rescue can ruin the whole meaning of the event, it is not a contest, it is all about fun and have to enjoy te ocean safely. After doing some warm up yoga at Hookipa most of the girls drive down to Sprecklesville and went down to Kanaha on whatever the gear they chose, windsurfing, kiting, stand up board and canoe , it was a sight to say the least.

Coolest thing is you get to meet the girls who does different ocean sports and they are all very passionate and inspiring. I didnt go to the night party but I bet that went pretty crazy. Thanks to Tati who orgazined this event and all the sponsor who helped her !
