Hang gliding is my passion, and in 2006, I helped the U.S. Women's Hang Gliding Team win silver in the World Championships. An author, ultimate adventure lover, beach bunny and sand snob, I've visited almost every beach in Florida and can't wait to explore more. Join me as I flip-flop across the Sunshine State, sharing the softest sand, sweetest shores and a boatload of adventure.



An Epic Surfing Event: The LandShark Pro 2010 at New Smyrna Beach

March 03, 2010


It’s officially epic!


A famed surf break, a renowned surfing town and more cold, hard cash than you can stuff in a beach bag mean that the LandShark Pro, April 14-18, 2010, is going to be rockin’ like Hendrix.


The blockbuster surfing tournament, held at New Smyrna Inlet surf break, was hailed as the Best New Contest/Epic Event in the January 2010 issue of Eastern Surf Magazine and offers a whopping $20,000 Purse. Further, New Smyrna Beach was named in the July 2009 issue of Surfer Magazine as one of the Top Ten Surf Towns in North America.


Besides providing thrilling surfing action featuring hometown heroes like the reigning LandShark Pro Champion, Aaron Cormican, as well as talent from around the globe, the five day event will include:

  • Live music with nationally known bands (TBA)
  • Autograph sessions
  • Beachwear and bikini fashion shows


Now this sounds like some sunshine worth sharing!
