Surfing: the new high heel surf contest

A group of Russian surfer girls decided to catch waves in high-heeled shoes in Bali, Indonesia.

When we think everything's invented in the surfing world, we get a pleasant surprise.

After watching dudes surfing with tables, doors, and stairs, it's time to put on classic evening heels and hit the waves.

The spot is perfect. Imagine a perfect summer wave on Kuta Beach, a popular surf tourist destination. Then, add sun and glassy water.

Finally, when you're having the second beer, you spot three surfer girls competing for the best ride in high heels. Look again - you're not drunk yet. It's really true.

Apparently, it's not that easy. It's odd - three girls catching two-foot waves in a post-modern outfit and unusual shoes. Balance is harder to maintain in backside mode.

Are you willing to try surfing in high heels for the first time in your life?
