AB This article explores how female recreational surfers in southern Spainexperience a marginalized status within the male-dominated sport ofsurfing. The main objective is to determine if there is a male-legitimizedcriterion that describes how surfing should be and what is consideredan authentic practise of this sport. The results indicate that there arecertain cultural assumptions originated by men that affect not only therelationship that women build with this sport at the time of its practicebut when they share it with other women. It describes a scenario inwhich women have been deprived of the opportunity to establish theirown criteria to feel identified when surfing. The lack of female referentsor the absence of women in this sport could explain this paradigm.
