    SURF ANYWHERE - Please Vote Oct 26 - Nov 9 (link below)

    You can surf anywhere – even 1500m above sea level and 1000km away from the nearest ocean.

    My friend and a fellow surfer Desiree Bilon is applying for a grant to produce a digital short about river surfing in Calgary. This community and project is dear to my heart and I would like to invite you to help by clicking VOTE every day between Oct 26th and Nov 9th. Thank you for your support!

    Slam the Kan 10 - River Surfing Celebration

    This weekend-long event was a celebration of the river surfing community here in Alberta and a chance to fundraise for the Surf Anywhere project, an open wave development initiative started by the Alberta River Surfing Association. Their goal is to build a world class wave that will put Alberta on the map for surfing, grow tourism and industry, and the plans will be shared with landlocked surfers all around the world so they can do the same.
    Honubelle was a proud supporter of this event and will be an active member of this incredible community for years to come.
    It was an honour to appear in the Friday Night Exclusive Fashion Show, alongside surf and lifestyle brands like Rip Curl, ROXY, Quiksilver, Lululemon Athletica and UNI chillwear, under the starry skies in the mountain fresh air, with a great DJ and a blazing bonfire.
    Don't miss it next year!

    AVENUE CALGARY - Meet Calgary-based Swimwear Designer Julia Barnes

    As a windsurfer, kitesurfer and straight-up surfer, designer Julia Barnes lives, eats and breathes the lifestyle of her swimwear brand Honubelle. The mother of two started designing the line two years ago after she felt there was a gap in the swimwear market for active women like herself who also wanted something feminine and stylish. The line is made with Italian Lycra and is made at the best swimwear manufacturers in Bali, the collection became a reality for Barnes in 2014.

    Now the cheeky swimsuits ($75 to $78 per piece) are currently taking the mountain-bound surfer girls of Calgary by storm with their seamless cuts and bright, poppy prints and colours. Whether you are hitting the waves or hanging loose on the shore, here are five pieces from the Honubelle collection:

    Keho Bottom

    The Keho Bottom ($78) is simultaneously cute and sexy with the strappy hip detail on a boy-short cut. Perhaps you aren’t ready to go full cheek with one of Honubelle’s bikini bottoms — this is a great way to ease into your outer cheekiness.

     

    Kite Top

    This top manages to give you full frontal coverage while still giving you the perfect surfer girl style. The versatile Kite Top ($78) has a racer back, so you can even layer a tank over it for a daytime look.

     

    Tramontane Top

    This top combines the femininity of the Honubelle brand with the practical sporty style that surfer girls require to pop-up and go. The tassels and adjustable straps are what make the Tramontane Top ($75) one to look out for.

     

    Tofino Bottom

    Julia Barnes recommends the Tofino Bottom ($75) as a staple in any surfer girl’s swimsuit collection because it hugs your hips and gives you a bit more coverage than the other Honubelle bikini bottoms.

     

    Nitinat Top

    This breezy halter Nitinat Top ($75) is surprisingly supportive with double-looped straps that are fully adjustable.

    Honubelle swimwear is available online and will be sold at surf fitness studio, Studio Revolution as of October 1, 2015.
