About Anna & She Creative Army
Growing up on the shores between California and Hawaii, my heart always belonged to the ocean. For me my professional surfing journey began as a tandem surfer, where I rode the world’s most legendary waves—from Waimea’s mesmerizing mountains to Teahupoo’s roaring tubes. Along the way, I shattered barriers for women in surfing and earned a shelf full of world titles and trophies. I was a contributing writer for Pacific Longboarder and started the first women’s segment in Longboard Magazine, Sea Sisters and I even mixed with the Hollywood scene bringing tandem surfing to Baywatch.
But it was on a surf trip that I met my husband Josh. This is when a new love for surfing grew as I followed him on the World Tour. I got to surf the world while traveling with a full quiver of boards to test in all the destinations we travelled to. From reef breaks in Bali to rip bowls in France and everything in between. Fast forward ahead Creative Army Surfboards was born.
For the last 12 years we have been refining and developing boards to take surfers to the next level. I have been lucky enough to shape my own boards alongside my husband. Over the years we have been able to refine my boards and develop my shaping skills. I get such a buzz designing a board and surfing it. I find myself always thinking of new ideas and talking them through with Josh and trying to come up with a board that delivers a special feeling. I can’t explain the happiness I get from riding a board that I shaped.
Now, I am shaping and designing boards that I believe have a bit of magic in them. Being an ocean woman with years of experience I developed boards made specifically for a women surfer. I pulled the outline in slightly to make them easier to fit our narrower frame to carry and paddle. The bottoms have extra contours and adjusted fin placements that make them more agile for our lighter frames. After designing and shaping many different boards and testing them out on the beautiful waves of Noosa, (that we call home) and beyond, She Creative Army was born.
A division of Creative Army Surfboards that I have designed, shaped and personally tested and love surfing. I feel I have a unique perspective and understand what a female surfer wants in her boards. I’m excited and proud to offer these boards to all the lady sliders out there, who share my love for the waves and the endless pursuit of the perfect ride
She Creative Army is more than just a collection of boards; it’s a celebration of the female surfer’s spirit. Each board is infused with the magic of my experiences and passion, designed to help you carve out your own extraordinary moments on the waves. I can’t wait for you to ride them, feel the difference, and enjoy the best dance partner on the waves you will ever have!
