| Resumo: | The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the theoretical background for phenomena occurring in modern female surfing.

Female surfers not only break the waves but also many socio-cultural barriers and stereotypes. We characterize barriers that can also be found in regions where surfing is treated as a national good or as a good way for healthy lifestyle. |
