Welcome to JettyGirl Online Surf Magazine's 3nd Annual New Year's Feature!

For our 2010 version, eighty-five surfers answered questions ranging from time travel to desert islands to magic surfboards. With responses ranging from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, we are truly honored that once again, surfers have openly given of themselves for this annual special feature. In an age of tiny sound bytes, an 85-page online feature may seem like an odd thing to put out there. Truth be told, if we could make it 500-pages, we would. Every surfer, whether she's a world champion or a little girl tiptoeing into the surf for the first time, has a story to tell.

As with anything worthwhile, this project wouldn't have happened without the assistance and support of photographers and and our presenting sponsor, Betty Belts. Throughout the following pages you'll see photographer links sprinkled here and there. If you enjoy surf photos, please visit their websites and drop them an email if you like what you see. When it comes time to buy ocean-inspired gifts for yourself or others this year, please keep Betty Belts in mind. Without their direct support of JettyGirl's 3rd Annual New Year's Feature, it simply wouldn't have happened.

As always, a very special thank you to all our readers who have kept this little online mag moving onward and upward.

Blessings to you all in 2010 :)
