Getting sponsored?

Question

I'm a SoCal teenage female bodyboarder, and am getting to the level of performance where I would like to compete as well as possibly look into getting sponsored. However, there aren't many surf/bodyboard competitions in Southern California that have a girl's bodyboarding division- so how would I go about getting sponsored?

Answer 1

Mr. Fluff, a bizarre name, but he has the best suggestion. Go to a surf shop and talk to the folks who are in the industry.

Answer 2

Go to your local surf-shops or wherever you buy your gear from and talk to them all about it. Make sure you're pretty good, and when you feel comfortable, send them a video of you doing all the things that they want to see. That should get you started and keep you going, too.
