In a world often dominated by slim, conventional images, Mimi is breaking stereotypes and showcasing how curvy, strong, and confident women redefine surfing.

What if the thing you were seeking all along was right in your own backyard? Elaine Abonal was an exchange student in Florida when she first saw surfing—and something inside her lit up. But it wasn’t until she returned to the Philippines and realized there were waves in her own country that everything changed. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , Elaine shares how her surf journey started by breaking cultural expectations and carving out a new path in the Philippine surf scene. As a Filipina surfer, community builder, and entrepreneur, she’s created something truly powerful: a space where people feel welcome, safe, and inspired to surf. We talk about her experience originally being one of the few women in the water in Siargao, what it's like to build surf culture from the ground up, and why inclusion—especially in the global surf conversation—has to come from people who live and breathe the culture every day. Main Themes: 🌍 Surfing as a Cultural Awakening “I thought I had to go far away to learn to surf. I didn’t realize the waves were in my own country.” – Elaine Abonal 💪 Creating Safe Spaces in the Lineup From guiding tourists to teaching locals, Elaine opens up about her mission to make surfing feel welcoming—especially for women in the Philippines. 🏄🏽 Representation in Surf Culture Why it matters that the face of surfing includes Filipina surfers, and how surf media often misses the real stories from local communities. 🌀 Surfing as a Mirror for Growth We explore how surfing helped Elaine confront fear, trust herself, and return to joy—even through life’s personal and professional challenges.

What does it take to perform at the highest level—and still enjoy surfing for yourself? Lakey Peterson has competed on the world stage for over a decade, but the journey hasn’t always been smooth—especially when expectations are high and results don’t go your way. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , Lakey opens up about what it’s really like to chase progression, navigate fear, and still stay connected to joy in the water. We talk about the pressure of competition, the mental tools that keep her grounded, and why her relationship to surfing is evolving. Whether you're pushing your own progression or simply trying to find more fun in your sessions, this conversation will remind you that surfing gets to be yours—no matter where you are in your journey. Main Themes Staying Grounded Through Competitive Pressure “Sometimes I just need to surf without a goal. That’s what keeps it fun.” – Lakey Peterson Not Growing Up in Surf Culture—And Still Making It “I didn’t have a surfy upbringing. I had to ask a lot of questions and figure it out.” – Lakey Peterson Representation & Progression in Women’s Surfing “When I started, it was about who looked good in a bikini.

Surfing without a leash isn’t about looking cool—it’s about control, awareness, and knowing when you’re ready. This episode is a reflection on skill progression, self-trust, and the invisible steps it takes to surf leashless with intention. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , I share why and when I choose to surf without a leash, the mistakes I made early on, and the checklist I’d recommend for any woman who surfs considering it. Whether or not you ever choose to go leashless, this is really about how we know we’re ready to push ourselves—and what it looks like to do that with care and connection with the ocean.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяWhat if your 'summer body' wasn’t something to fix—but something to fuel your surf stoke ? If you're tired of seeing summer framed as a time to shrink yourself, this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ is your permission slip to redefine what it means to feel good in your body— on land and in the lineup . In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Surf Société Member Danyelle Carpenter and I reflect on body image, the toxic messages women receive from a young age, and how to gently dismantle the beliefs we inherited about how we’re “supposed” to look. We talk about what it means to build a nourishing, sustainable relationship with your body—especially in surf culture, where expectations can be as rigid as they are outdated. From the pressure of "getting beach ready" to the insidious marketing of inclusivity in surf brands that still only reshare flat-stomached influencers, this one gets real. But it’s also full of laughs, healing moments, and the powerful reminder that we get to redefine what it means to show up for ourselves—especially in a swimsuit. Whether you’re navigating your own summer body thoughts or just need to hear two surf sisters keeping it honest and tender, this episode is for you. Main Themes: ✨ In this episode we explore: The rule I live by: “Never go to war with your body” Why body neutrality might be more helpful than body positivity The truth about surfing, endocrine health, and emotional weight How women are marketed to—even by brands claiming to celebrate us Why I stepped back from my surfwear line (and what that taught me) Resources: Surf Société Membership: Join The Surf Société with 7 days free .

Why is it so fucking hard to get better at surfing? Unlike other sports, you don’t get unlimited reps. Every wave is different, every session is unpredictable, and by the time you realize you wanted to do a turn or a cross-step—the moment is already gone. But what if you could train your surfing without even getting in the water ? That’s where visualization comes in. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , I’m breaking down how visualization works, the science behind it, and how you can use it to sharpen your skills, make faster decisions in the lineup, and actually land the maneuvers you’ve been struggling with —no matter how often you surf or what kind of waves you have access to. Inside The Surf Société , we’ve created a structured process for visualization so you can actually apply it to your surfing, with step-by-step guidance from sports mental trainer, Jana Fogaça . If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start progressing faster than you thought possible , this episode is for you. Main Themes Why Surfing Progress is So Slow & Frustrating “In surfing, you don’t get 100 reps. You’re lucky if you get 10 waves in a session—and every one of them is different.” – Laura Day The Science Behind Visualization & Why It Works “Your brain doesn’t know the difference between real movement and imagined movement.” – Laura Day How to Use Visualization for Surfing Progression “If you visualize a movement over and over again, your body will follow through when it’s time.” – Laura Day Success Stories: How Surfers Are Using Visualization to Level Up “One of our Surf Société members visualized herself winning her first competition—and she did.” – Laura Day How The Surf Société Teaches You Structured Visualization “We don’t just tell you to visualize—we give you a process to make it work for you.” – Laura Day Resources Join The Surf Société – Learn how to use visualization to improve your surfing with structured guidance inside The Surf Société .

Did you know you could meditate your way to better surfing? Yes, you heard that right! You can improve your surfing without even touching the water. In this episode, you'll meet Florida Surfer and Surf Société Member Joann Bolton. This incredible surf lady participated in The Surf Société's 21-day visualization challenge and wrote her custom visualization around one goal: to win her first competition . After 21 days, Joann racked up enough points to win the challenge but her success does not stop there. A month later she went on to manifest her visualization and win her very first competition. It's with so much pride that we get to share her story with you today. Her determination will get you fired up to paddle out and work on your goals. In this episode Joann will share her experience using visualization techniques, the impact it had on their surfing skills, and how it spilled over into other areas of their life. Join us as we explore the art of visualization and the incredible results it can yield, both in and out of the water. Main Themes: " Don't take the ocean personally. It's very humbling. And just a bad session or a bad wave or a bad day isn't a reflection of who you are." - Joann Bolton " I feel like I'd never regret investing in my surf education. Like, money I spend learning about how to surf has always come back and I've just been so rewarded." - Joann Bolton "Learn as much as you can about how to paddle, how to read the break, how to stay safe, how to be respectful. Everything about surfing. It's all part of it." - Joann Bolton Episode Sponsor: Confessions of a Surf Lady is supported by The Surf Société , our unique digital women's surfing platform where we come together to Learn More.

What happens when an injury keeps you out of the water for weeks—or even months? If you’ve ever been sidelined from surfing, you know how frustrating it can be, both physically and mentally. When I injured my knee in Baja, my biggest fear wasn’t just missing surf—it was wondering if I’d ever feel 100% again. Enter Dr. Alexis Piarulli , chiropractor and movement specialist, who not only helped me rehab my injury but also shifted my mindset around healing, movement, and longevity in surfing. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , we talk about staying strong, preventing injuries, and overcoming fear after time out of the water . Plus, Alexis shares the small but powerful things you can do to keep surfing for years to come. Main Themes: The Fear of Long-Term Injury in Surfing: "My biggest fear wasn’t just the injury—it was wondering if I’d always have a chronic issue.” – Laura Day Healing is Physical, But Also Mental: “Your mindset is the biggest factor in how well you heal.” – Dr. Alexis Piarulli How to Surf for Decades Without Breaking Down: “I want to surf when I’m 80. That means taking care of my body now.” – Dr. Alexis Piarulli The Power of Community in Surfing & Healing: “Having a support group in the water made all the difference when I paddled back out.” – Laura Day Resources: Follow Dr. Alexis Piarulli – Get surf-specific mobility and rehab tips at @fearlessmovementrehab .

Have you ever thought, I should be better by now ? You’ve been surfing for a while, putting in the time, watching YouTube tutorials, even getting in the water more—but something’s just not clicking. You feel stuck, and no matter how much effort you put in, you’re not progressing the way you want. I know that frustration because I’ve been there too. Surfing is unlike any other sport—you don’t get endless reps, the conditions are always changing, and without the right feedback, you might just be reinforcing bad habits. I spent years feeling like I had plateaued, wondering why I wasn’t improving, until I figured out what actually works. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , we talk about why progression in surfing is so difficult , the common mistakes that keep surfers stuck , and what actually makes a difference. Plus, I’ll share how The Surf Société was born out of my own frustration—because I needed a place where I could get real feedback, guidance, and a community to help me progress. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, this episode is for you. Main Themes Why Surfing Progression is So Damn Hard “Surfing isn’t like skating or snowboarding. You don’t get unlimited reps. Every session is different, and you can’t just practice the same maneuver 50 times in a row.” – Laura Day Why YouTube & Instagram Advice Might Be Making It Worse “I’d get so hyped watching a tutorial—then I’d go out, and my wave looked nothing like the perfect, empty lineup in the video.” – Laura Day The Myth That Surfing More = Getting Better “If you’re just reinforcing the same bad habits, more water time isn’t going to magically fix them.” – Laura Day The Reality of In-Person Coaching (And Why It’s Not Always the Answer) “I paid $250 for a coaching session, and the conditions were terrible. I left realizing I didn’t even know what I needed to work on.” – Laura Day Resources Join The Surf Société – Get structured learning, expert guidance, and a women’s surf community designed to help you improve.

What if your work schedule fit around surfing? Even better—what if every surf session made you better at your job? When Lachlan Campbell left Australia and landed in Europe, he didn’t just want a job—he wanted a life that revolved around the swell. With no formal education, training, or set plan, Lachlan jumped into freelancing and figured it out as he went. Now, as The Surfing Copywriter , he helps surf brands tell their stories in a way that feels real, relatable, and deeply connected to the culture. But for Lachlan, it’s more than just marketing—it’s personal. His inspiration comes from everyday moments, lineup conversations, and even unexpected places like history books, always tying it back to the world of surfing. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , we talk about what it takes to design a surf-first lifestyle , the risks and rewards of freelancing, and how surf culture shifts when you move across continents. From growing up on Australia’s wave-rich coastline to navigating the lineups of Portugal, Lachlan’s story proves that if you’re willing to take the leap, you can build a life around what you love, too. Main Themes: Freelancing & Surfing: The Perfect Match “As a surfer, being a freelancer, I think that lifestyle is just so compatible.” – Lachlan Campbell Turning Everyday Surf Sessions into Work Inspiration “I pull ideas from everywhere—the lineup, a great wave, even history books—and tie them back to surfing.” – Lachlan Campbell Building a Career Without a Safety Net “I had no formal training, no plan—just the decision to go all in and figure it out.” – Lachlan Campbell Moving Abroad & Surfing in a Different Culture “You’ll never meet a more stoked group of surfers than late-in-life European surfers.” – Lachlan Campbell Resources: Follow Lachlan: Connect with him on Instagram at @thesurfingcopywriter .

Have you ever felt stuck in your surfing—not because of your ability, but because of something in your head? Maybe it’s fear, uncertainty in the lineup, or frustration from not progressing the way you want. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , I break down three key mental blocks that could be holding you back from becoming a better surfer—and what you can do about them. We’re talking about fear of bigger waves, confidence in the lineup, and those frustrating moments when you feel stuck without knowing why. Plus, I’ll share a powerful visualization trick that helped me shift my mindset in challenging conditions. This month inside The Surf Société , we’re focusing on mental strategies to help you move past fear and level up your surfing. If you’ve been struggling with confidence or feeling like you’re hitting a plateau, this episode is for you.

Knowledge builds confidence.” – Laura Day Learn how understanding lineup dynamics can help you feel more at ease in crowded breaks. Fear of Bigger Waves “Your brain sees big waves as danger—but shifting your perspective can change how you react.” – Laura Day Discover a simple visualization technique that can help you stay calm and commit in heavier conditions.

What if reconnecting with your feminine intuition could change the way you surf—and the way you live? What if aging, something that is so often feared, was seen as an opportunity to gather wisdom, redefine beauty, and deepen your connection to yourself and the ocean? This week, I’m stoked to welcome back Leah Donatiello—empowerment mentor, Surf Société Surf Guide, and founder of Reconnect Retreats. You might remember Leah from her episode, Debunking Diet Culture , or as a Nutrition Surf Guide in The Surf Société, where she taught us how to fuel our sessions and stay energized in the lineup. Now, through her Reconnect program, Leah’s helping women tap into their intuition, embrace change, and live more aligned, fulfilling lives. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , Leah and I dissect the power of reconnecting—to yourself, to surfing, and to the unique beauty of aging. We explore how surfing mirrors self-discovery, why redefining beauty is so important, and how to find joy in your evolution as a woman. If you’ve ever felt unsettled in life, stuck in your surf progress, or resistant to enjoying the process of aging, this conversation will remind you why every stage of life as a woman is worth celebrating. Main Themes: Surfing as a Teacher: “The ocean is a mirror—everything you feel, fear, or strive for will show up in the lineup.” – Leah Donatiello Intuition and Self-Discovery: “Your intuition isn’t here to make you comfortable; it’s here to tell you the truth.” – Leah Donatiello Community and Growth: "It’s been really amazing to marry my love for surfing with helping women find themselves again. It feels like such a privilege to create spaces where women can feel supported, not just in their surfing but in their personal growth." – Leah Donatiello Resources: Reconnect Retreats: Join Leah’s transformative surf and yoga retreats for women ready to reconnect to themselves and the ocean.

"What would 10-year-old me do?” That exact question led Kim Merrikin, founder of @movefatgirl, to reconnect with the hobbies she’d tucked away as a young girl. After feeling fat-shamed out of sports, Kim ignored her interest in physical activities for decades, believing there wasn’t a place for her in these spaces. But today, she's rewriting that story—pursuing surfing, hockey, and advocating for inclusivity in sports despite the severe lack of size diversity in available gear. Her journey is proof that sports and outdoor spaces are for everyone, no matter their body size. Kim’s honesty and determination highlight both the barriers and beauty of getting back into sports, especially for women looking to surf and thrive in a world that often feels body-exclusive. If you’ve ever questioned where you fit in, her story will speak to you. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady , the first women’s surfing podcast, we chat with Kim about what it took to reclaim her athletic identity, the body stigma she’s faced, and the frustration of finding gear that actually fits. Kim’s candor is a breath of fresh air—she’ll have you thinking twice about what “inclusivity” really means, and she encourages all of us to see the ocean (and any sport we love) as a place that’s ours to enjoy no matter what size or shape you come in. Main Themes: Reclaiming Joy in Sports Despite Societal Barriers "What would 10-year-old me do?" became Kim’s guiding question to reconnect with the sports and hobbies she loved but set aside. Her journey reveals the deep joy and confidence that come from reclaiming sports spaces as a plus-size woman and challenges the idea that only certain body types "belong" in these spaces. The Challenge of Gear Accessibility in Sports Kim opens up about the lack of size-inclusive gear in the surfing and sports industries, sharing her frustrations in finding essential equipment, like wetsuits and hockey pads, in plus sizes. This conversation highlights the need for size diversity in gear to make sports more accessible for everyone. Body Neutrality and Creating an Inclusive Ocean Space Moving beyond body positivity, Kim talks about embracing body neutrality—focusing on what the body can do rather than how it looks. She encourages a view of the ocean and sports spaces as accessible to all, fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment for women of every shape and size.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Do you ever tell yourself, “I’m just grateful to be out here,” when deep down, you’re frustrated by how your sessions are going? That was me—not catching as many waves as I wanted, quietly comparing myself to others in the lineup, and telling myself it was okay to just enjoy the sunshine. But the truth was, I wanted more. In this episode, I’m sharing the moment I realized my “grateful” mindset was actually holding me back, the advice from Surf Société mentor Paul Spooner that completely changed my paddling technique, and how I started doubling my wave count in just one session. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of shielding yourself from frustration instead of reaching for more, this is your reminder that it’s okay to want more out of your surfing—and your sessions. Main Themes: Recognizing Limiting Mindsets: “I realized I was using gratitude to shield myself from disappointment, but deep down, I wanted more.” – Laura Day The Power of Technique Over Fitness: “Don’t ever let fitness be the reason you’re not catching waves—it’s all about technique.” – Paul Spooner Balancing Gratitude with Ambition: “You can be grateful for your surf sessions and still want more.” – Laura Day Resources: ✨ Join Surf Société (7-Day Free Trial) Explore our members-only community for women surfers — with workshops, mentorship, and cultural surf support. 👉 Join Here 📸 Follow Laura on Instagram Behind-the-scenes surf reflections, podcast updates, and community connection. 👉 @confessionsofasurflady 🌊 Surf Société on Instagram Our official community account — surf tips, expert events, and empowering women’s surf content. 👉 @surfsociete 🛍 Support the Podcast by Shopping Surf Société Shop surfwear and gear that supports the mission. 👉 shop.surfsociete.com 🫶 Support Our Sponsors We carefully choose sponsors that align with our mission.

1 58. 30+ Years of Surf, Photography, and Finding Gratitude: Mattson Culbert on Facing Cancer and Life’s Challenges 48:14
After spending over 30 years chasing waves and documenting epic California swells, Mattson Culbert—a surfer, photographer, and filmmaker—faced one of the biggest challenges of his life: a thyroid cancer diagnosis. 🌊 But instead of letting it hold him back, Mattson embraced vulnerability, rediscovered gratitude, and deepened his connection to the ocean. To me, though, he’s more than just a talented photographer and lifelong surfer—he’s like a big brother, a kuya, the surf uncle we all wish we had, full of wisdom, humor, and the kind of perspective only decades in the water can bring. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™ , Mattson and I talk about the evolution of surf culture, the resilience we learn from the ocean, and how his cancer journey reshaped his outlook on life. This conversation goes beyond the epic swell—it’s about family, gratitude, and the lessons we take with us both in and out of the water. Resilience Through Challenges: How Mattson’s journey with thyroid cancer reshaped his perspective on surfing, life, and legacy. Cultural Shifts in Surfing: A deep dive into surf culture in the ‘90s and how it compares to today’s more inclusive scene. Respecting the Ocean: The importance of knowledge, humility, and community in and out of the lineup. Resources: Follow Mattson: @mattsonculbert Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Ever thought about what’s in your hair care and how it impacts the ocean you surf in? This episode with Kate Assaraf, founder of Dipalready.com , is a must-listen for anyone who loves beauty products and cares about the ocean and sustainability. Kate shares the story behind Dip’s eco-friendly body and hair oil—a “perfume with benefits” that’s as good for your skin as it is for the planet. Get ready to rethink the products you use daily and what they mean for the oceans we call home. In this episode of the Confessions of a Surf Lady podcast, the first women's surfing podcast dedicated to building a connected, eco-conscious surf sisterhood, Laura and Kate dig into what it means to be a “protector” of our natural playground rather than just a “consumer.” They discuss Dip’s innovative approach to sustainable beauty, how small eco-conscious changes can make a big impact, and why surfing and sustainability go hand-in-hand. Main Themes: Protector or Consumer: “When you go to the beach, are you someone who just brings all the plastic junk, or are you leaving no trace? It’s about shifting from consuming the ocean to protecting it.” — Kate Assaraf Perfume with Benefits: “I wanted to create a product that stops people from having to buy four different things—a lotion, body oil, perfume, and hair serum. It’s about one beautiful product that can do it all.” — Kate Assaraf Little Actions with Big Impact: “Try this: go to the beach, start picking up garbage, and see what happens. Small actions are contagious, and before you know it, others will join you.” — Kate Assaraf Resources: 15% Dip's sustainable body and hair oils: Visit DipAlready.com to check out the collection and find a store near you with the store locator.

Surfing is hard— like, f*cking hard. It isn’t just a sport; it’s a journey of highs, lows, and everything in between. In this episode, we talk about how to cultivate a flexible mindset to keep your stoke alive—even on those tough days when nothing seems to be going right. I share a personal story from a recent surf trip to Baja where I faced unexpected mental challenges in the water. Instead of letting frustration take over, I tapped into the power of flexibility—both in my mindset and my approach to the waves. Whether you’re struggling with a surf slump or just had one of those sessions where you feel totally off, this episode will give you actionable tips to shift your perspective and enjoy the ride. 🌊 What we’ll talk about : Expectations: How to ditch them (yes, we all need to sometimes). Mid-session Mindset Shifts: When you’re just not vibing with the ocean, what can you do to make it fun again? Documenting Progress: Why journaling even your worst sessions can be a game-changer (trust me, it’s magic). Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
In 2014, I moved to Brisbane, Australia, alone. Surfing was on the agenda, but I knew nobody and nothing about the Australian lineup. One evening, I made my way to the coast to meet a group of surfers the next morning. My anxiety of being alone in a new country quickly eased as I met my first friend: Christina. Now, ten years later, Christina and I find ourselves in San Diego, sharing a glass of scotch and reflecting on how surfing has been the thread that has bound our friendship over the years. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady, The First Women's Surfing Podcast, we explore what it truly means to cultivate courage in the lineup, how genuine friendships can propel us beyond our perceived limits, and the magic found in recounting surf adventures and mishaps over a good drink. Join us for an episode rich with laughter, camaraderie, and surfy insights. Main Themes: 5 Seconds of Courage : "I stood up for 5 seconds. It might not sound like much, but that moment changed how I saw myself as a surfer." — Christina Surfing Together, Growing Together : "When we surf together, I push myself more. Knowing we’ve got each other’s backs makes me feel stronger in the lineup." — Laura Day Laughing Through the Wipeouts : "Every fall, every awkward moment just turns into another story to laugh about over a good Scotch. That’s what makes this journey so special." — Laura Day Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

For a long time, I surfed without fully understanding the impact of my board’s design. I knew I needed a longboard to cross-step and nose ride, but the world of surfcraft always seemed distant, almost secretive. Once I started to dig in and learn about surfboard design, everything changed. It didn’t just improve my surfing—it opened up a whole new way of experiencing the sport. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady, The First Women's Surfing Podcast, I’m talking about why understanding your board’s design is a crucial part of becoming a better surfer. From catching more waves to having confidence in your choices, surfboard knowledge gives you a deeper connection to the sport and more control over your progress. If you’ve ever felt unsure about walking into a surf shop or curious why some surfers catch every wave, this episode is for you. It’s about gaining knowledge and taking ownership of your progress. Key Takeaways: How surfboard design directly impacts your performance and your confidence in the lineup. Why knowing more about your board earns you respect and connects you with other surfers. My journey changing up my surfboard — and the shifts it made in my approach to surfing. Mentioned in the Episode: The Surf Société's 3-part Surfcraft Workshop Series: Shop & Shaper Conversations : How to confidently ask the right questions in a surf shop.

With a single call to "the big dogs," Sasha Jane Lowerson set in motion a revolution for equality in competitive surfing. Despite her success in numerous competitions under her former identity of Ryan Egan, Sasha feared competing as a transgender surfer. Instead of letting fear take over, she embraced her true self and championed groundbreaking inclusion policies for surfers of diverse genders. Join us for this episode as we peel back the layers of "bullshit" and explore what it means to live authentically. Sasha and I discuss the challenges within a predominantly cisgender, white, male-dominated surf industry and the cultural differences between the Australian and Californian surf scenes. We’ll also delve into Sasha’s evolution as a surfboard designer and shaper, as well as her future plans for advocacy and continued work on diversity and inclusion in the surfing community and so much more! Main Themes: Advocating for Inclusion in Surfing : "I think I just want to let you know I'm here and I'm me and I'm scared to surf, but if I can say something and do you think we can put something in place to, like, make it safe for, like, 3% of the population? There's going to be more than me. I had looked up soccer Australia and I'd seen that they'd had a policy, I'd looked up a whole bunch of other sporting organizations that had gender identity inclusion and surfing just hadn't done it. And it was I started to believe that, like, I was like, Well, are we ran by the old dinosaurs still, or are we going to move forward?" Navigating Competitive Events: "You got to really choose your events. Some girls who are like, some of the best loggers in the world are like, "Yeah, we just don't go to that event because such and such, They go to that one and we go to this one" Breaking Barriers in the Surfing Industry : " I think that old saying, time heals all wounds. And I think that's, I'd love to be able to wave a wand and, and say 50% of the industry around all now we've got half the jobs in the industry are for all us girls, too."

Want to stay out of a surf slump, keep the stoke high, and make progress in your surfing? Start a surf journal! In this episode, I, your host Laura Day, share how keeping a surf journal has been a game-changer for me. I’ll explain how I document my sessions, reflections, and surf goals in a cute, bright colored, A4 notebook, decorated with stickers, stamps, and photos. This ritual not only helps me track my progress and overcome mental blocks but also captures my favorite memories in each session. We’ll discuss the importance of enjoying the process of surfing, connecting with nature, and cherishing every experience in the water—plus, why documenting it all matters. I’ll provide practical tips for starting and maintaining a surf journal, ensuring it becomes a meaningful part of your surf journey. Tune in to discover how to avoid surf slumps, treasure your surfing memories, and foster continuous growth in the water. And if you keep a surf journal, snap a photo and tag me on Instagram (@confessionsofasurflady)—I’d love to see it! Main Themes: The Power of Keeping a Surf Journal: "The game changer for me has been keeping a surf journal. Before I created The Surf Société, I didn’t keep a surf journal. However, some of the ladies in The Surf Société do, and they do such a beautiful job of it. Seeing their progress and knowing that they keep journals, motivated me to start keeping one myself." — Laura Day The Challenges of Surfing Progression: "Surfing is a challenging sport to progress in due to constantly changing conditions and numerous variables, both external and internal. With such fleeting moments in your surfing journey, it’s easy to feel discouraged if you don’t see immediate progress." — Laura Day The Benefits of Reflective Writing: "What's really cool about writing it down in a notebook is that even if you don’t have the answer right away, putting it on paper helps solidify it in your mind. It gives you something to revisit and ponder later. This process allows you to track your thoughts and progress over time, providing a chance for deeper reflection on your experiences." — Laura Day Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Highlights: Embracing the Unpredictable Nature of Surfing: "I am not in control of anything. The ocean is not linear at all. So why the hell do I think that I can be in charge of this one sport in the world where you're moving and your playing field is moving, and it's never the same ever again." — Diana Zalucky Confidence in Surfing and Life: "At the core of it, having confidence in surfing, in life, that confidence is built when you show up for something that is hard, when you show up for something that you don't know how to do, when you show up for something that you're unsure about. You show up for it, you do it, and confidence the byproduct of you showing up for yourself because you took the leap on yourself. You took a gamble on yourself. So to me, confidence for surfing is that moment when I'm having butterflies in my stomach and I show up and it doesn't matter what happens in the water. But I kept that promise to myself." — Diana Zalucky The Power of Community in Surfing: "It's sharing with others and getting that stoke back from them and that encouragement, the surf society and the women in it are the people that I want to hang out with. — Laura Day Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

The connection you have with your surf community directly shapes your surf experience. While being part of a surf group is important, it's even more crucial that the community aligns with your personal goals, motivations, and personality. In this episode, I, your host Laura Day, share my personal journey in finding the right surf family. I discuss my experiences with toxic surf clubs and unhelpful friendships, and how I ultimately discovered a positive and supportive community in The Surf Société. These stories underscore my core message: it’s perfectly okay to move on from groups and friendships that don’t enhance your surf experience. It’s healthy to seek out communities and friendships that support and inspire you. Whether you're struggling to find the right surf group or searching for a supportive community, this episode offers encouragement to make your surf journey as enriching and joyful as possible. Tune in to learn why finding and nurturing the right surf community is essential for you. Main Themes: The Heart of Surfing: Community and Connection: "The number one component that makes surfing really special is the community, the people that you get to surround yourself with. Whether they're friends or part of a club, finding a group of women that you can surf with and go out to brunches or dinners with after sunset is part of what makes a surf journey so soul-filling." — Laura Day Toxic Surf Club Impacting Mental Health: "It started to feel, frankly, really toxic and not fun. There were a few instances where I was outright bullied online and in person, and I began to really dislike surfing. I hated how it affected my mentality toward surfing. It made me feel really bad about wanting to get out in the water." — Laura Day Navigating Your Surfing Journey: "It's okay to go and find a better fit for yourself. You don't have to feel guilty or ashamed. You don't have to feel like you're leaving people in the dust. It's okay to find a group that works for you and makes you feel good about your surf journey." — Laura Day Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Growing up in Orange County, Ben loved to spend time in the water. However, as he grew up transgender, the revealing nature of swimwear eventually made him uncomfortable and led him to give up his time in the ocean. It wasn’t until he moved back to Orange County from San Francisco in 2010 that he was encouraged to get back into surfing. In San Francisco, Ben found a strong sense of acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community. The freedom to be open and authentic about his identity was transformative, and it inspired him to reconnect with surfing and begin shaping his own boards. Ben is passionate about inclusivity and accessibility in the surf industry. By sharing his story, he inspires others to pursue their passions, regardless of perceived limitations. Main Themes: Transgender Experience in Sports : "So it's weird that it was something that I wanted to do, but being transgender, when I hit puberty, like, that wasn't cool with me. Swimming things that I loved. You wear things that are rather revealing. Wetsuits, bathing suits." - Ben Soto Sacred Surfboards and Economic Disparity: "There was a reason why the Hawaiians thought, is something sacred when they made surfboards. Not just anyone could make a surfboard. You had to be a priest. And there were rituals and ceremonies, there were launching parties, and it was a special thing. And it's gone from this wholly sacred thing that we took from these people and now make millions while they live in poverty." - Ben Soto Surfing and Spirituality: "When I go surfing and when I'm in the ocean, that is the closest I truly feel you can get to God's energy and the energy of the universe that flows within everything. When you catch that wave, that sensation, that feeling, there ions flying and atoms swirling around you in this energy that is coming from thousands and thousands of miles and the energy is what you're riding. This thing that's created and it comes all this way and at the very last moment of its energy, you get to play with it." - Ben Soto Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Whether it's navigating a competitive lineup or dropping into steeper waves, every surfer is bound to face fear in the lineup. But what happens when that fear becomes so debilitating that you can no longer enjoy your sessions? Meet Kim Chareonbood. Hypnotherapist, sports mental trainer, and Surf Guide at The Surf Société Community. Kim specializes in helping surfers overcome fear and trauma holding them back in the water, and in life. In this episode you'll hear about Kim's personal journey of managing fear and self-doubt to push herself to surf bigger waves, we'll share relatable stories of feeling intimidated in the surf but build confidence anyway, and you'll learn the brain science behind fear, as well as, how to utilize fear to your advantage in the lineup. If you've ever struggled with anxiety about bigger waves or crowded lineups, this episode is a must listen. Main Themes: The Impact of Traumatic Experiences: "When you have a traumatic experience, it's in our body, in our system, in our mind, and it kind of has its own life. The information of the experience is so overwhelming it can't be processed by your brain in the normal way, and it leaves kind of an imprint of an unfinished story.'" - Kim Chareonbood Embracing Incremental Progress: "You can really do mini-step by mini-step. People usually say, 'Now I have to go there and I have to take this wave.' No, the first step is to go closer and then go a little closer. Then maybe the next day you try to take the wave and you pull back, it's fine. It's like the next step, right? So that is one thing you can do. Go really mini-step by mini-step and be fine with it." - Kim Chareonbood Risks in Surfing: "If you're not willing to take risks, you can't go surfing. There's just no point in you going surfing, even not small waves, because in the small waves there's more incidents, I would say, than in the bigger ones." - Kim Chareonbood Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяJoin our community The Surf Société with your first 7 Days FREE Improving your surf skills is no easy feat and learning from others is critical part of the process, but when does unsolicited surf advice cross the boundary from helpful to condescending? And are newer surfers listening to advice that concerns safety in the lineup? OR are they brushing off tips and claiming the advice from experienced surfers as ugly localism? In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of communication in an evolving surf culture and growing lineup and how we can maintain and encourage community and camaraderie when crowded lineups lead to frustration. We'll also hear your confessions to this episode's prompt "What's the most memorable piece of unsolicited surf advice you've ever received." Join me, Laura Day and Surf Société Member Danyelle Carpenter for a critical conversation balanced with laughter and fun surf sister stories. Main Themes: The Good and Ugly Sides of Localism: "I think the differences between, between that good local and that ugly local is are you focused on getting yours or are you focused on community?" — Danyelle Carpenter Generational Knowledge and Respect: "How do we get more access to that generational knowledge? How do we give more access to that generational knowledge, especially with, like, the lineup becoming so much more crowded and it's less of a conversation of numbers of people out there, because you can't stop that. And how unfair is it for you to be like, well, I started way earlier than you, so you shouldn't be here." — Laura Day The Responsibility of a Surf Coach: "I volunteer and I teach people, new surfers, and, when I'm pushing them in, when I'm choosing a spot for this to sit, we're picking those spots that's our responsibility. To keep them safe, to make sure that it is a fun time."— Danyelle Carpenter Resources: Try a membership at The Surf Société with 7 days free.

Finding plastic nurdles on the remote beaches of Sri Lanka left Kate Assaraf heart broken. Having grown up in New Jersey where seamlessly going from beach to nightlife was a part of summer culture, Kate never left home without a bottle of conditioner to treat her hair after a day in the saltwater. Now a surfer and long term hair-care enthusiast, Kate hated the fact that her post-surf hair care contributed to the world's growing plastic problem. After dozens of iterations working with a chemist, Kate created an eco-friendly solution in her company called Dip! An environmental awareness company parading around as a damn good hair care company. In this episode you'll learn all about Dip and how this badass entrepreneur combined her love for hair, sustainability, and surfing into a haircare line fit for surf ladies who love the environment (and are tired of those post-surf tangles!) Main Themes: Plastic Pollution & Kate's Inspiration to create Dip! " When I was in Sri Lanka, they already had like a bit of a plastic problem. A ship had spilled plastic nurdles all over. It broke my heart. Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful, untouched places I've ever been and nurdles just mimic food for so much wildlife there. It's heartbreaking". - Kate Assaraf Accessible Sustainability " Sustainability is a weird subject, right? People want to care about it. But they either don't feel included or they feel disenchanted because they don't think that they can do much about it. For me, like the little emotional thing in my day, is my hair. If I'm having a bad hair day, I'm miserable it affects my confidence. So I thought why not make something amazing that that tapped into doing something good? Something you use regularly that reminded you about reducing your plastic instead of like finger waggled you into it." - Kate Assaraf Greenwashing & Beauty Products: Reef Safe vs. Reef Safer "Surfers want their their heart and soul in reef safety and understandably so. And I'm also on that on that team. When you're in the cosmetics industry, and you know that this term doesn't mean anything but consumers hold so much weight with it. It's tricky. You see consumers going back and forth on brands on reef safety. The term that I've seen that is most appropriate is "reef safer". It's very easy to put reef safe on anything right now there's no one there there no police it." - Kate Assaraf Resources: Shop Dip and get 15% OFF with the code " confessionsofasurflady " at checkout at Dipalready.com Follow @Dipalready on Instagram here .

Reid shares her journey of growing up in a surfing family, how she balances life with being a young competitive athlete, and her excitement in being part the revolution of women's surfing. Main Themes: Mindful Surfing in Competition: "Everything happens the way it's going to happen." — Reid Van Wagoner Resilience in Sports: "Just kind of push yourself and get over those obstacles and not let them get you down too much. If you let them get you down, then you're not going to be able to improve or to push past those." — Reid Van Wagoner Inspirational Figures in Surfing: "I look up to basically all of them. I met most of them and they're all so sweet. I have a couple local surfers like Katie Simmers and all of them like the youngest, like surfers on tour right now.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Meet Lynn and Sunkat, Filipina american surfers who grew up in both the states and the islands of the Philippines. In 2008 they began to bring donated surfboards and equipment back to remote island destinations, where surfing was usually only done by foreigners passing through. By donating recycled equipment to the local kids, and incentivizing them to pursue education, they've empowered locals to find ownership in the growing surf scene in the Philippines. Through their non-profit organization "Balik Bayod" meaning "Returning wave" they have been supporting filipinos with donated surfboards since 2008. In this episode we'll explore the complexities and beauty of surfing in the Philippines, including the influence of foreigners and the importance of preserving local communities. As co-founders of Balik Bayod Returning Wave, Sunkat and Lynn share their stories of connecting with their Filipino heritage and empowering the local surf scene. We'll discuss the challenges faced by the Filipino surfing community, like limited government support and the need to foster a thriving local surf economy. They underline the significance of supporting Filipino businesses globally and how doing so can reshape cultural perceptions, especially concerning the embodied experience of being dark-skinned within the outdoor community. You're invited to join the conversation, contribute to sustainable surf practices, and even participate in equipment donations. This episode not only encapsulates the spirit of surfing but also the power of unity and cultural connections within our global community. Main Themes: Inclusion in Surf Culture: [30:04] "I always feel like, as a Filipino American, we've been battling with inclusion in the surf community, but that's actually our home. So to be excluded from a sport that's in your home is kind of crazy, but to be someone that's going to come and bring the resources so local people can be a part of not even just the surfing and surf culture and create their own surf culture." — Laura Day Supporting Filipino Surfers Globally: [37:07] "I think, like, when you meet another filipino surfer, it's always exciting. And you know that we have traveled, you know, that we have intermingled with different cultures, but there's that happy bond that happens around surfing, I think, because it's all about getting stoked when you catch a wave and basically, yeah, that feeling of being part of a community like that and for sustainability." — Lynn Surfing Culture in the Philippines [46:49] : "My experience and I think Lynn's, is that the kids we surf with are like, clapping when we catch a wave. You know, I'm not a very good surfer, but I never really experienced that anywhere else. I think that's a special thing about Philippines, is kind of this sharing culture." — Sunkat Resources: Follow us your host Laura Day: @confessionsofasurflady Follow The Surf Société: @surfsociete for surf lady tips from #thesurflab inside the membership Follow Returning Wave on Instagram: @returningwave Visit Returningwave.org Become a Member at The Surf Société Send me a Message!

Traditionally there has been a major barrier to entry for women in surfing. This not only shows in the lineup but trickles all the way down to our experiences in surf shops.

Main Themes: The Importance of Mindset in Surfing: "Your headspace and your mentality going out in the lineup can define and really shape how you feel when you're out there." Building Personal Confidence: "I've really realized that confidence is a constant practice. It's not just a problem that we can solve once and then walk away from and expect it to still be there. It's a constant practice." Surfing Wisdom: "Knowing that you did your homework [you've learned about your local break] is going to give you confidence. It's like being in class when you've read the book. You can participate in the discussion, right?"

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Despite facing misogyny prevalent in the surf industry, Matt George, a renowned surf journalist and Senior Contributing Editor at SURFER for over 35 years, has been an advocate for women in surfing. In his new book, In Deep, you'll discover an anthology of Matt's most influential articles and photographs, including stories about courageous women in surfing. From a young Bethany Hamilton's shark attack as told from the perspective of the apex predator to a feature about Keala Kennelly that inadvertently outed her to her family. However, this episode goes beyond 'In Deep,' bridging the gap between new surf media and traditional surf media. We dive into the contrast between a WOC self-published podcast like 'Confessions of a Surf Lady' and the traditional, white-male dominated world of one of the most influential surf publications of all time, SURFER Magazine. Throughout the episode, we explore Matt's top tips for aspiring journalists and he shares his confessions on some of our most popular topics. But most importantly, Matt imparts empowering words of advice to all surf ladies on navigating a blossoming women's surf culture and industry. This episode is packed with practical writing advice, genuine surf stories, and thought-provoking conversations that you won't want to miss. Main Themes About In-Deep: "It is a collection of stories that really reflect the zeitgeist. As the title In Deep implies, it gets very, very much behind the curtain of professional surfers, professional contests, professional people, and the great surf spots of the world." — Matt George [03:00 → 03:19] Women in Surfing: "In my experience, Laura, I have found all the female surfers that I've written about are very courageous and very powerful. While all the men that I've written about, I've found them very vulnerable, almost weak compared to the women." — Matt George [08:46 → 09:03] The Art of Journalism: "When I meet someone to do something as personal as a profile, as a featured article, I very much look for what they're not saying. Not exactly what they're saying, but what they're not saying."— Matt George [09:51 → 10:06] Connected to the Cosmos: "As surfers, we are a very unique, fringe dwelling tribe and we are connected to something absolutely extraordinary, connected to the cosmos, different than other sports." — Matt George [11:45 → 11:57] Diversity and Inclusion: "Having a conversation with you, someone that's worked intimately in a male dominated surf industry for decades, and hearing that there have been advocates for people like me. It's comforting, because for women, like me, still face misogynistic attitudes in the lineup." — Laura Day [14:44 → 15:09] Resources Follow us your host Laura Day: @confessionsofasurflady Follow The Surf Société: @surfsociete for surf lady tips from #thesurflab inside the membership Purchase In Deep by Matt George at DiAngelo Publications Follow Matt on Instagram: @mattgeorge_in_deep Watch Matt's Film: Send me a Message!

How has surfing saved you? Meet Janina Casanova, a once rare-beach-goer from Southern California.

Main Themes: Finding Myself : "I decided to go back to the Philippines, which I had never been before since birth, and just kind of like, rediscover myself, just get back to my roots." The Healing Power of Surfing : "I think that surfing was a good distraction, focal point, regenerative experience to learn and just be out in the water, and you're paddling out and what feels like you're in the middle of the ocean, far away from everything and everyone that you know, and sometimes you're alone or whatever. You ride your motorbike, and you get to the spot, you're the first one there, and you just hear the roosters crowing, and you just paddle out, and you're, like, just centered. And it just really allows you to connect with yourself and connect with nature and try to learn." Midlife Surfing : "I took up surfing in my mid 30s after a divorce, and I surf almost every day, but I'm still not, like, shredding you're like, oh, I'm just a cook. I just want to have fun." Surfing and Life : "Surfing changed my whole perspective on life, and it switched my priorities."

Dating within the small surf community can have its complications, such as running into ex-partners at the same locations or events. This is a risk that comes with dating someone within a tight-knit community. Some surf ladies prefer to keep surfing as their own personal activity , separate from their romantic relationships. They find solace and personal growth in riding waves on their own and prioritize their own surf experiences. Finding a partner who enjoys spending time at the beach and is supportive of your surfing pursuits can be an appealing prospect. Having someone who understands the importance of prioritizing surfing can enhance your surfing experience in a relationship.

Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Pull up a chair and join us in Baja, Mexico as we as we celebrate sisterhood and surf adventure on Surf Société's first trip. We'll drink wine and eat charcuterie after a surf at a secret spot, all thanks to Manny, our guide at Epic Surf Tours . Meet 4 members of The Surf Société : Farrah, Celia, Danyelle, and Jana. Coming together IRL for the first time on this trip. We'll recount an amazing weekend of overcoming fear, challenging surf conditions, secret breaks, and eating the most amazing food south of the border. Each surf lady brings something special to the conversation. Farrah shares why she chose this surf trip as her first, Celia shares how despite her fears she surfs anyway, Danyelle tells us why surf travel is the only travel she does, and last but not least, Jana shares how she uses a positive attitude to rapidly progress her surf skills. This trip bridges the gap between online learning inside The Surf Société and an IRL sisterhood. Main Themes: The Importance of Trust and Camaraderie in Group Adventures: 'I want to trust that person and know that they're being conscious about when we're going, why we're going, and who we're going with. I like that it's a small group and we're all in different experience levels. We all feel super comfortable and there's such great camaraderie on the lineup.'" - Farrah Monfort The Benefits of Traveling to Surf: "Traveling to surf is the best thing. It's like this built-in security. It's made me a bolder traveler because I know that there's going to be a group that's going to take care of me because surfers take care of other surfers. I think that's the best part about it." - Danyelle Carpenter Feeling Comfortable and Safe: Yeah, it was so awesome because I felt really comfortable on that wave and I actually caught some. I'm really working to be a better surfer and I know for me to do that, it's not just going out and surfing, it's being encouraged by other people that make me feel comfortable and safe." -Ceclia McKintosh The Importance of Feeling Comfortable in a Surf Trip: "I really like that it's just women on our trip. I know women that admire Laura's work from her Instagram, from her podcast. I know her principles and things that are important to her. Then I think, okay, people who are going to go on this trip are going to align with that too, and I will feel comfortable in that environment."

1 31. From Visualization to Victory: How Florida Surfer Joann Bolton Harnessed Surf Visualization to Win Her First Competition 41:03
Did you know you could meditate your way to better surfing? Yes, you heard that right! You can improve your surfing without even touching the water. In this episode, you'll meet Florida Surfer and Surf Société Member Joann Bolton. This incredible surf lady participated in The Surf Société's 21-day visualization challenge and wrote her custom visualization around one goal: to win her first competition . After 21 days, Joann racked up enough points to win the challenge but her success does not stop there. A month later she went on to manifest her visualization and win her very first competition. It's with so much pride that we get to share her story with you today. Her determination will get you fired up to paddle out and work on your goals. In this episode Joann will share her experience using visualization techniques, the impact it had on their surfing skills, and how it spilled over into other areas of their life. Join us as we explore the art of visualization and the incredible results it can yield, both in and out of the water. Main Themes: " Don't take the ocean personally. It's very humbling. And just a bad session or a bad wave or a bad day isn't a reflection of who you are." - Joann Bolton " I feel like I'd never regret investing in my surf education. Like, money I spend learning about how to surf has always come back and I've just been so rewarded." - Joann Bolton "Learn as much as you can about how to paddle, how to read the break, how to stay safe, how to be respectful. Everything about surfing. It's all part of it." - Joann Bolton Episode Sponsor: Confessions of a Surf Lady is supported by The Surf Société , our unique digital women's surfing platform where we come together to Learn More.

Surfing is an incredibly diverse sport, and in this episode we're bringing you two unique, but equally passionate surf lady communities: The Lake Surfistas from Canada and The Gong Gurfers from Australia. Meet Spence of the Gong Gurfers and Robin of the Lake Surfistas in this Party Wave podcast episode where we link across three timezones to create a global surf lady conversation. You'll hear how the ladies in Wollongong braved the Australian waters, surfing every day in their SurfAid challenge and how Robin of the Lake Surfistas has surfed the often freezing cold waters of the great lakes for almost ten years! This fun conversation allows us to celebrate our differences but highlight our collective passion for supporting our local women's surfing communities. Join us as we explore the diverse coastal experiences and discuss the differences and similarities between two surf lady communities from across the world. Note: Since the recording of this episode Spence and Alisha have evolved The Gong Gurfers to the Go Go Gurfers.

Join iaera surf's closing sale to get up to 50% off women's surfwear: iaerasurf.com/closing In this episode, we're celebrating C'est La Vie Part 2 but instead of celebrating a breakup (refer to episode 10 for C'est La Vie Part 1), we're celebrating the closing of my surfwear line iaera surf. In 2016, I (your host, Laura Day) created iaera surf, surfwear that fit and functioned for the everyday surf lady. Created to represent the uniqueness and beauty of every woman on the water. 6 years later my mission has evolved. Instead of creating a positive impact through representation, we're now focusing on giving women the resources to become empowered in the lineup through education at The Surf Société. Now the time has come to close up shop at iaera surf. So I can focus all of my time and resources on making The Surf Société the best it can be for the women's surf community. Join me and fellow surf lady, Clarissa Kusel of The Ocean is Female and Sea Blue Collective, in this episode of C'est La Vie! Part 2. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at closing up shop at iaera surf, all the fun things we have going on at The Surf Société, and how you too can reframe failure a step in your journey.
