VIBES Summer
Meet Elaine, the creative spirit behind Local Break magazine. Enjoying a lifestyle that revolves around beach volleyball, hiking, biking, yoga, and most importantly– surfing. Surfing wasn’t part of her lifestyle until her 40s, when a tribe of women friends became her surf squad, inspiring and supporting her on and off the waves. The desire to surf alongside her kids became another motivating force, leading to unforgettable moments like sunset surfs with the family.
As Elaine evolved as a surfer, she began enjoying surf vacations to Chile, Peru, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Costa Rica, with the promise of more to come. But it’s not just about chasing waves for Elaine; it’s about giving back. From volunteering at special needs surf camps to building homes in Peru and empowering teenage girls through surfing, Elaine embodies the transformative power of surfing beyond the break. While she may not claim the top spot in the lineup, Elaine revels in the challenges, friendships, and the tight-knit surfing community that has become her second family.
Elaine’s mission at Local Break Magazine is clear – to provide a go-to resource for everything surf and to foster a positive community that supports every individual passionate about the sport.
Sincerely,
Elaine Brodie
