Taking the Drop: Life is for Living, Whatever Your Age
Taking the Drop is the life-affirming story of four women who took up surfing in their forties, broke away from their existing daily routines and steered their lives into new directions.
Their love of the ocean broadens their horizons, teaches them lessons of skill and survival, allows them time for reflection and shows them that change and loss make way for growth, renewal and peace.
With an exciting and sometimes hilarious take on surfing, this book reveals insights into their life journeys and their passion for finding the ‘perfect wave’.
“Life is for living — let’s go surfing!”
“The empowering message these four women share in this book is clear and simple; age is just a number, and it’s your attitude that really counts.”
Layne Beachley, Seven Times Women’s World Surfing Champion
“Here is a bunch of women, turned surfers, sharing their stories. The underlying friendships, spiritual journeys and the breaking down of barriers, is uplifting and inclusive. I expect many readers will identify with them and be encouraged to follow their own hearts.”
Pam Burridge, Women’s World Surfing Champion 1990
