As you might have seen, a few weeks ago Playboy compiled a list of the 21 hottest female surfers on Instagram. Naturally we were outraged: there wasn’t a single European in sight! Which is where Surf Europe steps in, and where you sit back and fall in love seven times in quick succession, then spend several hours trying to decide which of the following European she-shredders you’d most like to take ten-pin bowling.

First up — although there’s no particular order here — is 20-year-old English rose Laura Crane. The former U-18 British Champion grew up in north Devon, but now spends much of her time on the continent, or on the sunnier shores of Bali. You might wish to consider following her — not literally, we ought to make clear — @lauraloucrane.
