Women's Surfing (Article being edited)
The earliest recorded incidence of women's surfing concerns the mythical Kelea. Kelea was born of royalty in Maui, it is believed she out-surfed riders of both genders. A few centuries later in the mid-late 1800s, Thrum’s Hawaiian Annual reported that women in ancient Hawaii surfed in equal numbers and frequently better than men. Women's surfing in Australia has a popular following amongst female participants. One-third of all participants are female.

In the Muslim world many women are taking up surfing. Surfing was first introduced to Iran by women; Irish surfer Easkey Britton, Iranian snowboarder Mona Seraji and Iranian diver Shahla Yasini. Easkey Britton was the first person to surf in Iran.

Women’s surfing has increased in popularity over the last 50 years.
