Walden Surfboards was a pioneer in creating surfboards specifically designed for women, launching the Walden Wahine line. "Wahine" is the Hawaiian word for "girl," and the Wahine collection was carefully crafted to meet the unique needs of female surfers, rather than simply offering a "token" pink version of existing men's boards. The range covers a full spectrum of skill levels and surfing styles, providing women with boards that offer optimal performance, fit, and versatility.
Walden's approach was groundbreaking, as they designed boards with features tailored to women’s needs, such as lighter weight and adjusted volume for easier handling without compromising performance. The Walden Wahine collection became a game-changer for women surfers, offering boards that celebrate both style and functionality.
