Jenks Rides Waves with Sexy Pro Surfer

Anastasia Ashley
   In the latest episode of World of Jenks, Jenks hit the beach to ride the waves with professional surfer, Anastasia Ashley.  Jenks documented Anastasia's preparation for one of surfing's biggest events, the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California.

  Anastasia Ashley has been surfing since she was 5 years old and competing since she was 7.  Now, as a pro surfer, she graces the covers of magazines flaunting her sexy surfer girl image.  Ashley is a confident and strong person and those qualities transcend into her surfing, but, as Ashley revealed to Jenks, not all female surfers root each other on.  Ashley told Jenks that among female surfers there is a lot of catty behavior, especially in competitions.

  In spite of the cattiness, Ashley ignores her haters and focuses on being the best surfer she can possible become, so she can make her mother proud and show that her mother's unrelenting support did not go unappreciated.  Her mother passed away a couple of years ago from Lou Gehrig's Disease, formally known as ALS Disease, a non-curable and fatal disease that progressively weakens muscles and attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.  The ordeal still hurts Ashley to talk about it, as shown in the episode, but she finds the strength to keep surfing and continues to use her skills on and off the board to bring attention to women's surfing.

Watch as Anastasia Ashley attempts to teach Jenks how to surf.  Jenks makes it into the water, but it's what happens in the water that puts a stop to the lesson.
