About the name Pink Sail Studio | About the color Pink

I created Pink Sail Studio (water, wave and wind inspired!) in 2018.

‘Pink Sail’ and my logo derive from my passion for windsurfing.  As a young girl, other than pink found in the nature and wildlife, I loathed what it represented to me. In my tomboy childhood, wearing pink was not an option- nor was owning Barbie; but as I grew older, I embraced pink, dropping my aversion to it and the stigma of it somehow making girls weak or too feminine.  The evolution of using pink in ‘gear’ and hard goods in the windsurfing, sailing, surfing industries,  carried a unique new power, strength, beauty, authenticity and joy to me, helping me drop my old rebuff of pink. During my 6 years on Maui, I always wanted a PINK sail for myself and Wet Women, and  I enjoy using pink in areas of my artistic subject matter and for marketing certain products. Therefore, I created the name PINK SAIL STUDIO. 

In 2013, I had Quatro build me a custom wave board, on which they were kind enough to utilize some pink, mixing in a bit of my Wet Women graphics and colors with their's. I Love this board. 

Oh, I've become more accepting of Barbie these days. I no longer spurn her; she apparently even windsurfs!
