Women on Waves must be looked at as a long-needed celebration and collection of the many achievements of women in surf history, on and off the water. Representation matters. Reading this book, learning about these wave riders and hearing their stories, I just wanted to get out and ride the waves as has been done for centuries by women before me. It inspired me in a way that no other book has.

Fail Harder

Surfing and music aren’t meant to be a pissing contest. You don’t get a gold star for picking up on a trick sooner than everyone else, or for owning the newest shiny toy. And you sure as hell won’t come off as cool for having an elite taste that bashes anything that you deem sucks. Young, old, straight, gay, white, Black, purple—all are welcome.

Wave makers and Wave riders: Exploring the relationship between Surfing and Music Pt.1

Suburbs and soda shops, In the 1950’s the United States was moving to the easy beats of unheard rhythms, and new sound waves. While the nuclear family was enjoying tail winged cars and the 'ride' home every afternoon, the ‘delinquent’ surfer was subtly mounting up. As the surfer began to ride new waves, a raw sound of buttery Stratocasters and hollowed drums followed.
