Surfing St. Pete's. Russia.


So I thought to myself "How, in this day and age of mass market surf imagery, does Ms. Federova not get that this is not what surfing looks like?"  So I look up Ms. Federova and among many other beautiful illustrations, I find that she is from St. Petersburg, Russia and I think "Ah, there is not surfing in St. Petersburg, Russia and probably there is not such mass media surfing imagery saturation there either!"
But then I type in "Surfing St. Petersburg Russia" into the You Tube.


Come Ms. Federova, surely you can do better.
