Oh and by the way, the answer to the most frequently asked question:  What is a gidget??

Gidget is the iconic 60’s surfer girl immortalised by the TV series of the same name.

The original Gidget was created by Frederick Kohner in 1957. Kohner was fascinated by his daughter’s aspirations to take part in a ‘boys-only’ sport back in the days. That’s how Gidget was born. He wrote the novel ‘Gidget, The Little Girl With Big Ideas’ based on his teenage daughter adventures getting involved with the local surf scene in Malibu. The novel got turned into a popular TV series and some movies. Until today,  the name ‘Gidget’ is used as a synonym for surfing girl.
