More at home on water when it is in a frozen state, Abi will be mostly found drinking the sea rather than standing upright on it. This does not appear to deter her having a go and providing amusement for everyone else as she lives up to her recent nickname.

What type of person do you reckon would enjoy the Surf Affinity camp the most?
Anyone that gets a buzz out of riding with other girls, wants to be pushed or just wants to share some good times doing something they love.
Why is an all-girl surf camp such an ace idea?!
I've never been on a girly surf camp before but I do love snowboarding with other girls. You get inspired to try something that previously scared you when you see another lass doing it. Even in a group with mixed skill levels, you get a buzz out of egging on and being egged on... oh and girls tend not to cut you up by wanting to show off!
