About: Cynthia Krueger

Cynthia first rode a knee-high wave in Florida on a 10' foam log in 2003 and became instantly and irreversibly hooked. She continued to surf even when job relocation took her across the country to Seattle, where she made the long trek to the chilly Pacific coast as often as possible, supplementing the infrequent sessions with trips to surf camps in Costa Rica. In 2006, she moved to wave-rich Nor Cal, where she lives with her husband and three cats south of San Francisco and half an hour's drive from the beach. Cynthia has a busy day job as a systems engineer in the Silicon Valley, but surfs a variety of breaks in San Mateo County and Santa Cruz about twice a week. She combines her love of surfing with interests in writing and photography/videography on her blog, wave journal of a norcal surfer girl .
