Betty Zine is for surfers first and foremost but we know our community is filled with women who love the mountains as well as the ocean, any adventure sports that get the heart racing and just being in the great outdoors. That's why we decided to highlight some stories from our Snow Bettys this issue ❄️
One of them is the uber talented, competitive skier Laura Wotton who has the Winter Olympics and X Games in her sights ⛷️ She tells us about her ski journey and how she's planning to make her dreams a reality - we're tired just reading about her training schedule!

❄️ awkwardly honest post ❄️

Can you help us fill 50 more seats at the film night?

It’s you, our community, who have always made Betty events a huge success.

For the first time, as we gear up for Thursday’s film night, we haven’t sold enough tickets to cover the costs of putting on the event.

Despite being more snowy than surfy, the evening’s line-up will have plenty for Bettys to enjoy and it’s sure to be a great night with lots of laughs and spot prizes.

We’d be overjoyed to see you there. If you can’t come, we’d love it if you’d support us by sharing the event with everyone you know! We’ve set up a discount code for any groups, clubs and students so get in touch if that’s you.

We’d love to see a bunch of people (guys and gals) in a room, watching women shred it on the screen and being unapologetically, authentically, and messily awesome (a little like us, haha).

Or if you’ve got some feedback- as to why this event might not be for you- we’re all ears! Drop us a comment below 😅

Betty x Weak Layers

Join us for the feature length film on Thursday the 29th of August at the 🎿 Weak Layers follows three recently-evicted party-loving best friends set out to win a ski movie competition. The prize money will solve their rent problem, but they’re up against tough competition with professional skiers and filmmakers 📽️

14/08/2024

Snow sports and surfing go hand in hand and we’d bet good money that most of the surfers in our community love skiing or snowboarding too! ⛷️🏂 Is it the thrill, the adrenaline hit, the sense of freedom, being in nature, the peace of mind, the pursuit of greatness or just something inexplicable that draws us to these sports? It just makes sense to share a couple of films about women in the snow sports industry with our community, we hope you love them 😊 (link in bio for tickets)
