Why is dry land training important? Aside from doing things like make you stronger, healthier, and more efficient; it’s also good for injury prevention and giving you something to work towards when you can’t get out on the water.
You probably started out like most other girls when it comes to swimwear. When you were young, you almost exclusively whore one piece swimsuits.
Recently I’ve given up on the traditional bikini. I’m talking about stringy, triangular halter bikinis or any swimsuit where the straps are thinner that two fingers.
Learning to do cool stuff when you’re no longer young and fearless sucks. But when you get it, it’s liberating. As a gymnastics coach, I can’t even begin to tell you how personally frustrating it is to teach a kid how to back-handspring in 3-7 days.
Stress can come from many places in our lives. It can come from work, family, the daily grind, or even ourselves.
"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."
Boarderline started as an idea to finally hit it big. To be my own boss and ultimately create content I love. The problem was, I was passionate about too many things. It took me almost a year to figure out what exactly would be at the heart of this project. It couldn’t be all the things I was passionate about, but it could be one or two. It took the dead of a Canadian winter to remind me how much I love and miss swimwear. It brought me back to the days of looking at my favorite brands websites (on the daily) to see what was new, or just to obsess about the items or lines that really spoke to me. It brought me back even further to the little girl, who, in the dead of a very similar Canadian winter, would dress up in her 101 dalmatians swimsuit and have a beach day in the middle of the living room. This blog would be about fashion. But not just fashion, surf style.

But why just make another fashion blog? Even surf style seems pretty broad. Boarderline will focus not only on the “trends” but on my personal taste and need for function in my fashion. It will be about being strong and fabulous! Yes, being an athlete in several sports has given me a great appreciation for the functionality and comfort of my clothes. But who says you can’t slay while working out or having fun right?
Ok, so why should you care what I have to say? In our great Canadian summers I LIVE in swimwear! In the house, backyard by the pool, on vacation, at the beach, and at the cottage. If I can be wearing a swimsuit, it’s gonna happen. Over the years I’ve accumulated quite the collection of bikinis, one pieces, and rashguards. I even went through a board short phase. I swim, surf, paddle, and wakeboard along with a plethora of land based activities. With a background in photography, social media, and design, I hope to always create & curate visually interesting content.
To add some extra flair to my experience, I happen to have a body type that’s a mixture of muscle, curves, and actual boobs, on a fairly small frame. When I’m shopping for clothes, things get a little interesting. I also happen to have friends of all shapes and sizes. I’d like to say I’m fairly familiar with what would look good on different body types.
