    THAN K YOU!
    Looking at 70 in a few months... two surf boards in the barn five heart surgeries under my belt and ten good summers to go.
    Your words are just the kick in the ass I need to recapture enough strength to get outside once again and enjoy the waves!

    Absolutely love this woman’s perspective. Who cares what people think-this seems to hold so many of us back from enjoying life and being able to test ourselves. Rock on lady❤

    Yes! Just surfed for the first time at 50 and I'm so excited. Why did I wait? Doesn't matter because I finally did it!

    I grew up in Hawai’i, and surfed most of my life. Then I got married, and worked, and the ocean just went by wayside. Like all of you, I turn 70 in a couple of months, and starting to train. So mahalo Mrs. Shelly for the inspiration. You go girl. 😊

    English observer: as a 75 year old ( reasonably healthy ) but stuck in a rut I was wondering if it’s pheasible to get back in the water after 50 years of not surfing, So…I searched for oldest surfer & this lovely lady appeared in my feed ! 🙏 Nuff said… here we go !! 🏄 Many thanks to the luvverly lady 😊

    You BERNIE SHELLY are smart, super fit, competent and uplifting. Our patriarchal world badly needs free, progressive minds like yours, thank you! Truly inspiring😊.
    Speaking of sexism and ageism ... just look at the title...Cape Town "Granny" .... Although she's a super fit surfer she is DEFINED by being a "granny". How ageist, sexist and small are youmagtv "minds" are? VERY.

    Cape Town surfers are hard as nails, must be the amount of white pointers they share the line up with.

    Hey Grannie: Just take "Curcurma with a little black pepper" daily, along with 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil and none of those age related brain problems won't even happen - don't even have to worry about them! From a 76 year old Surfer retired in Mexico.
