A former Outward Bound rock climbing and whitewater kayak instructor; turned teacher. It wasn’t until Rebecca returned to the Bay Area that she picked up surfing. She started slow but it wasn’t soon before she started to venture out at Ocean Beach. With no business being out there she figured out how to do it by studying how the tricky currents and rip tides at OB worked and took her lumps. Drawn to the thrill of surfing bigger waves, she is now part of the posse of hard charging women who are committed to challenging themselves in the punishing surf that pounds the far outer sandbars.
