Single surfers with fairytale dreams line up to woo one of Europe’s surfing princesses

Not your grandfather's royals...

Ain’t it great to live in these times? What was, just a few decades ago, considered irrefutable, say boys are boys and girls are girls, has been utterly flipped. Now, if you can dream it, you can achieve it and, thus, hundreds of surfers across North and South America, Australia and the Pacific Islands are racing to update their manifestation boards with castles, balls, crowns and coronations.

Europe has a new brash batch of princesses, you see, who, according to the Daily Mail, “love surfing and partying.”

Not your grandfather’s royals.

Hereditary rules have been changed in the olde world to allow princesses to ascend to the throne, not just their brothers. Amongst those set to be queen, Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, 21, Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, 23, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, 48, and Princess Leonor of Spain, 19.

Calling Griffin Colapinto!

Aside from a taste for surfing, the sovereigns enjoy tennis, sailing, playing the cello and waltzing. A majority have also served in their respective country’s military, adding a layer of toughness over that glitzy sheen.

But imagine, single surfer, that you were the one to win a hand in marriage. Not only would a gilded surfing life be yours (trips to Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch in Lemoore etc.), but your children and children’s children could carry that torch (trips to Kelly Slater’s Slavepool in Abu Dhabi etc.) until revolution due massive inequity rips the continent apart and your children’s children’s children are sent to the guillotine.

Dream it.

Achieve it.

Which one will you attempt to woo?
