Curvy Surfer Girl/Cameo as Herself

Elizabeth Sneed is the founder and visionary behind Curvy Surfer Girl, a pioneering movement and global community dedicated to body diversity, body positivity, and greater representation in women’s surfing.
Originally from Arizona, Sneed moved to Oahu in 2017 and discovered a deep connection to surfing. As she became more immersed in the sport, she recognized a striking lack of representation for women whose bodies did not fit the traditional image of the female surfer.

In 2020, she launched Curvy Surfer Girl, sharing her own journey in the water and creating a space where women of all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds could see themselves represented in surfing. (Curvy Surfer Girl⁠)
What began as an Instagram account quickly grew into an international movement. Sneed has worked to challenge long-standing assumptions within surf culture while encouraging women to get in the water, embrace their bodies, and pursue their own dreams with confidence. She has also collaborated with surf and swimwear brands to advocate for more inclusive products and representation, helping push the industry toward a more diverse vision of the modern surfer.

A surfer, entrepreneur, model, environmentalist, women’s advocate, and social change leader, Sneed has been featured by Forbes, Outside, Surfline, Inside Edition, Condé Nast Traveler, The Inertia, and The Red Bulletin, among others. Her brand partnerships and collaborations have included Body Glove, Rip Curl, MAAJI, and other leading surf and lifestyle brands. (Forbes⁠)

At the heart of Sneed’s work is a simple but powerful belief: surfing is for every body.Through Curvy Surfer Girl, she continues to build community, create opportunities for women in the water, and inspire people to find confidence, belonging, and joy through surfing.

In Así Es, Sneed appears in a special cameo as herself, bringing the authentic voice and presence of a woman who is actively helping redefine the culture of women’s surfing.
