For as long as I have lived here in Charleston, I never knew that we had any sort of surfing competition for women.  Not that I surf.  I knew that there are a few events for the guys, but not for us girls. But I just came across an event that is strictly for surfers of the female variety.  It's the Folly Beach Wahine Classic.  I believe that it is in its second year, but from what I've seen, the first one was a huge success.  This year's Classic will be held May 31 through June 1, 2008.  The only place with waves good enough for a competition is the Washout on Folly Beach, so that's where all the action will be. It's not only going to be a great weekend of women's surfing and fun, but 100% of the proceeds are going to be donated to a local women's charity! For more information, or for ... 05/14/2008
