Since then, Gina has continued doing what she does best—bringing people together. Whether it's through surfing, community events, environmental initiatives, art, film, or simply creating spaces where people can connect, she's become one of the driving forces behind the ever-evolving culture of Rockaway Beach.

Today she's back to talk about two exciting new projects. First, the inaugural Rockaway Surf Film Festival, a new celebration of surf culture, storytelling, creativity, and the unique community that has grown around the ocean here in New York. And second, Jupiter Club, a new community-focused surf club, co-working space, event venue, and gathering place that is already becoming a hub for surfers, artists, entrepreneurs, and locals alike. Jupiter Club was created to carry forward the spirit of community that has always made Rockaway special, while creating new opportunities for people to connect, collaborate, and share ideas. 

From building one of the most welcoming surf communities on the East Coast to helping launch new cultural institutions right here in Rockaway, Gina continues to prove that surfing is about much more than waves—it's about the people you meet along the way.

She is our guest today on this episode of The Swell Season Surf Podcast.

While Sean may be best known these days for his Detroit-style pizza, his story stretches far beyond the kitchen. 

We talk about growing up in Rockaway, the neighborhood’s unique creative energy, and how the peninsula has evolved over the years. Sean reflects on life in Dayton Towers, memories of Rockaway Playland, and the influence of his family on everything from work ethic to music taste. We also dive into Sean’s journey through New York’s music and nightlife scenes—from learning to DJ at Jam Master Jay’s Scratch Academy to managing at Brooklyn Bowl—and how those experiences ultimately led him toward pizza, entrepreneurship, and a new sense of purpose.

From apprenticeships at some of New York’s most respected pizza institutions to building a business of his own in Rockaway, Sean’s story is one of reinvention, persistence, and finding meaning through craft and community.This conversation touches on pizza, music, sobriety, creativity, neighborhood identity, and what it means to build something lasting at the edge of New York City.

Grab a slice, crack a soda, and enjoy this conversation with Sean Aiken.

John began surfing at just five years old at Ditch Plains, and over the past three decades has taught thousands of people to surf in places like Montauk, Indonesia, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico.But this conversation goes far beyond surfing technique. Through projects like A Word on Waves and the Surfing Saves Project, John explores the idea that surfing is more than a sport — it’s a framework for understanding life, community, energy, and our relationship with the natural world.We dive into Montauk surf history, the battle for beach access, surf instruction, lineup culture, spirituality, quantum theory, wave consciousness, and how surfing can become a tool for personal and communal regeneration.

We also discuss John’s monthly “Paddle Outs to Peace,” designed to promote collective coherence and connection through the ocean.This is a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about surfing, philosophy, community, and the power of waves — both in the ocean and in life. We hope you enjoy…

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we ponder the question of ‘who would we be without surfing’ with our guest for this episode. Jason Borte is one of the true pillars of East Coast surfing — a competitor, storyteller, teacher, and lifelong ambassador of the stoke.  Hailing from Virginia Beach, Jason's journey began with a humbling first session in 1982 and took him all the way to ESA All-Star and ASP East Pro Champion. A Master's-level educator, surf school founder, Hall of Famer, and author of multiple books including Pipe Dreams, Virginia Is for Surfers, and his upcoming memoir How Surfing Ruined My Life, Jason now serves as Director of Surf Coaching at Atlantic Park — home to North America's first Wavegarden Cove surf lagoon — where he continues shaping the future of the sport through coaching, community programs, and youth initiatives.

We dig into his transition from 15 years in the classroom to the surf world, new competitive formats at Atlantic Park like the man-on-man "Chlorine Clash," and inclusive youth programs bringing swimming and surfing to underserved kids through partnerships with Pharrell and Adidas. Plus, Jason shares the story behind his books and what led him to step away from the ocean for an entire year.

We discuss Haft's experiences within New York's surf community, his work on various projects, and the differences between East and West Coast surfing cultures. Haft shares his background in surf cinematography and the unique challenges of shooting surf films. He’s recently started a new instagram page called 77 surf Club. It’s a space for him to document the local surfers in NYC and capture all the characters that make up our lineup.   We dive into  a wide range of topics from the impact of social media and AI on filmmaking, the unpredictability of surfing conditions in NYC, the importance of patience, and the influence of social media in depicting surf culture. We're stoked to have Ty as a guest on this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast.

She took it straight to El Porto, and proceeded to put in her time and take her licks. She was told over and over that you can’t get good after your teens. She didn’t know if she would ever be a competent surfer. Let alone a competitive and stand out surfer. But she was determined. 

Rachel Lord is a certified talent in the water. Incredibly nimble but with power when she throws herself into her turns. Style oozes from every hand gesture and fancy footwork. Rachel carries the confidence of someone born on a surfboard. 

She grew up in Colorado with a taste for speed. A competitive Skier in her youth, once Rachel finished highschool, she  threw herself into her art. She learned the craft of sculpting and painting at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) where she graduated in 2008 and was convinced that her future was to be a star in the art world. After putting in a long stint in New York, she eventually made her way out west in 2011. But it wasn’t until 2015 that she felt the overwhelming sense of needing a change in her life. She was overworked, strung out, joyless, and  felt like her art work reflected that.

She had been deferring her enjoyment of life in the moment, and neglecting her physical body. 
It was then when she discovered surfing. FAST FORWARD to year 3 of her surfing journey where she sought to merge her compartmentalized selves. Her Surfy-self and her Artsy-self. That’s when surfboard shaping entered the picture and she realized she could fold all of her passions into itself. She had been seeking a way to join her art career and artistic practices with her surfing so that she could bring all of her passions into one. Surfboards are sculptural objects, they’re painted objects, and they are a physical tool. When she started making boards it was this beautiful chemical marriage.

We really stoked to have as our guest on this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, Rachel Lord.

Surfing has been his singular obsession for over 60 years. Tony is a legend among legends. An East Coast Hall of Famer, a 2x Greg Noll Da bull invitational champion, and became a pro surfer when others his age were giving up surfing.

Beyond his surfing, Tony kept journals with collages, stories, and scraps for every day for decades. These creations have become a kaleidoscopic chronicle of his search for the perfect wave, from Montauk to Hawaii, South Africa to the Caribbean, and Indonesia to Japan. Eventually Tony transitioned to a respected artist with numerous shows and prints of his work. 

His latest book by Damiani, 'Montauk Surf Journals' presents a stunning selection of Tony’s art representing his 60 years in and around surfing. The book takes readers on Tony’s journey through surfing as the world progresses through four decades of immense change. From his first wave in 1963, to living and working with Peter Beard at his home in Montauk, and endless days of perfect waves, Tony's unique, colorful visions shine through on the page.
We are incredibly stoked to have Tony on as our guest for this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast.

Tom Kay, the driving force behind Finisterre has been at the game for over 20 years, slowly building a great reputation for quality products that are sustainably minded. The brand has gained a cult following amongst surfers worldwide who I suspect feel underrepresented in the larger surf culture. Tom and his team are currently poised to make big moves in the coming years that will help to drive the surf world to think more sustainably.

I was fortunate enough to have met Tom late last year at an event at their beautiful store in London through my mate Matt Bar of the Looking Sideways Podcast. Tom was extremely friendly and engaging. You could tell this was a very sharp but passionate person. Unfortunately, I had to leave shortly after meeting Tom but the few minutes I got to speak  with him, I felt like I could talk to him all night. I decided I needed to have him on the show. I’m excited  because we are fortunate enough to have Tom as our guest on this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast.

He has been an avid surfer ever since.Nick became an Osteopath by trade and founded a successful family business with this wife.

But as time wore on and when Nick’s father passed away in the late 2000’s, he started to think about the world a little differently. He began to think about open spaces in nature and the healing aspects of engaging and being in nature. He started to realize that a lot of people's poor health was due to a number of things such as not exercising, not eating well, lack of connection to others, lack of nature connectedness  and so on…

He set about trying to pull these different factors together and look at how he could solve some of these issues through one holistic vision. By chance this was around the same time that Wavegarden released a video of their first technology which would bring waves inland, for the first time.

Nick had a eureka moment. And this was the start of his mythological quest to bring his concept of The Wave to the United Kingdom. It’s been a long journey for Nick, which involves every obstacle you can think of on his way to realizing his vision. Fundraising, permits, Global Pandemic, shaky economy, Brexit, and a stroke. But, Nick persevered and has succeeded in realizing his vision and pioneered a new business model while minimizing its environmental impact and offering an exceptional surf experience with a safe, inclusive space for all surfers.

Our Guests today are the contributors to the latest book from Rizzoli Publishing aptly names: I Heard There Were No Waves in New Jersey: Surfing on the Jersey Shore 1888-1984”. It's a beautiful book and tribute to New Jersey Surfing.

Our guests for this episode is one of the editors and former guest, Danny DiMauro. We also introduce New Jersey surf legend,  and infamous Surf Industry Sales Rep, Mark Neustadter. 
We also have former Atlantic City Heavy, Mike May. May is a founding Member of the NJ surfing Hall of Fame and wrote the definitive story on Duke Kahanamoku protege, Sam Reid. 

All of them have contributed to this beautiful book. Drawing upon archives of photographs and ephemera from private collections, and from those held in the New Jersey Surf Museum and New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame, this book is a celebration of East Coast surfing, from its pioneering beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century to its heyday in the 1980s as the scene converged with skateboarding and a shared influence on street style.

It featured insightful texts that illuminate previously unheralded moments in the evolution of the sport, the book not only introduces some of the greatest unseen surf photography of the last century but also lets the Jersey Shore take its rightful place in the history of American surfing.

We hope you enjoy this episode...

The therapy also has a positive impact on the families, as parents are encouraged to surf alongside their children. The program has been successful in providing unique therapeutic benefits and improving the overall well-being of the participants. Dr. Martinez explains the meaning behind the name Surf4Dem, which stands for Surf for the Development of Emotion and Motor Skills. The organization focuses on using surf therapy to help children with autism develop their social communication skills and improve their motor skills.

Giovanni emphasizes the importance of trying new and unconventional therapies for children with autism, as different approaches may have a significant impact on their development. He also discusses the potential benefits of medical tourism, where families from other places can come to Puerto Rico for a customized surf therapy program for their children.

Sarah and Caleb share how they met and developed their relationship. Sarah, as a Palestinian-American, talks about her upbringing, struggling with her identity, and navigating the challenges of an increasingly complex political landscape. Caleb, who is Jewish, shares his experiences and realizations about Zionism and his journey towards understanding the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian situation. We also touch upon how Caleb is slowly converting Sarah to surfing.

They also discuss their experiences with injustice, prejudice, and the importance of standing up for human rights. They also discuss the concept of Zionism, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and their experiences living in various countries and societies. They touch upon various subjects like Scriptural teachings, politics, and personal anecdotes while advocating for dialogue and understanding as they navigate the complexities of their relationship. We hope you listen with an open mind to their experiences. We we kindly ask that any comments or feedback be constructive and approached with respect and decency. Thank you.

Our Guest Jimmy Metyko, from Houston, Texas, has maintained a multi-faceted, successful career path in fields of photography, art, graphic design, fashion design, brand creation, development and marketing by the application of one simple strategy: staying ahead of the curve. And in some cases, even designing the curve.

His recently released book, Shaping Surf History, by Rizzoli Publishing, is out now and it documents a very special time and place in surfing. It is the Stuff of legend and lore. He documents the rise of a quiet and unassuming surfing savant, his mentor and shaper, a sudden arrival of a world Champion and a crew of surfers that would go on to shape the future of surfing. I am of course talking about Tom Curren, Al Merrick, Shaun Tomson and the Santa Barbara surf scene. Jimmy Metyko is our guest on this episode.

She inherited her passion and froth for surfing from her surf-crazed dad. In 2012, during her final year of school she raced off to Bali just before final exams to clinch the World Junior Championship and then later joined the Tour in 2014. After years spent with her main sponsor Rip Curl she left them to partner with WALLIEN Wetsuits as an Ambassador where she has gone on to co-create an exclusive collection of high-performance wetsuits with a focus on optimal comfort, style and environmental mindfulness.

We were fortunate enough to meet Nikki while she is in NYC for the UN General Assembly NY Climate Week where she was on a panel with former guest of the Show Chris Nelson to discuss the film The Big Sea, the investigative documentary exposing the hidden links to cancer Alley in Louisana and the wetsuit worlds toxic addiction to neoprene.

They cover everything that can happen to you. And that enables you to interpret the myth in relation to life, as well as life in relation to myth. - Joseph Campbell

Our guest is former pro surfer, writer, rescue and relief activist, Matt George. He is someone who helped to create and build the myths that make up surf history. For our guest, surfing became more than a sport. It became a world unto itself. A religion. A quest. An odyssey full of fables, tall tales and more..

His profile pieces elevated the standard surf magazine profile. He was not afraid to be critical. He would dive deep to get to know his subjects, spending days attached to their hips. He may not have always wrote what the surfers wanted but, he was fair and gave us, the readers an honest view into who these surfers were as people.

His commitment to surfing is something to be admired. In a world where there is so much cynicism, his earnestness and blind faith in surfing as something more than just a sport or hobby, is refreshing and inspiring.

Matt has just released a compilation of his writings in the book titled “In Deep” published by Di Angelo Publications. Matt has touted this book as an antidote to the synthetic image of surfing that is being promoted today. It’s a fun read that really captures the times they were written in but, I would also dare say, they could be something of an inspiration for younger surfers to explore the world around them.

While this announcement was originally released somewhat quietly, the following days Bethany Hamilton then went to social media to protest this decision and boycott all WSL events.

Our guest is none other than amazingly talented Susannah Ray! Her work on long form documentary projects, such as Right Coast, A Further Shore and What are The Wild Waves Saying, explore the relationship of people and landscape and how public space offers opportunities for escape, leisure, and transcendence. Many of her projects have occurred at the intersection of city and water, describing how New Yorkers' lives are shaped by the waters that surround the city.

Her latest body of work, Down for the Day, is now showing at the Baxter Street Camera Club of New York. The exhibit gives us an intimate look at the life of beachgoers, specifically people who have made their way to Rockaway Beach. It’s a beautiful composition of the people of diverse backgrounds who make up this great city. I would dare call this a love letter to Rockaway and the magic it holds for New Yorkers.

We became curious as to who was this Giancarlo that was reporting on our community in Beachgrit and what was his backstory. His articles are well crafted, some with a bit of tongue and cheek, some with sincere earnestness and all well researched and reported. We are really excited to have Giancarlo on our show to learn about his surfing story and get some of his hot takes on surfing in the Mid Atlantic. We hope you enjoy this episode with this absolutely charasmatic character.

Shea Somma is a shaper out of the central coast of California who started hand shaping boards in 2008, out of the curiosity to try new designs and shapes that weren’t as available to him at the time. He began in his backyard shed with a desire to create and sample many niche board designs from the obscure corners of surfing. He’s been chasing the unique sensations one feels from riding these alternative designs ever since.

Shea is here in New York doing a short residency at the Kings Glassing Facility in Brooklyn and he is our guest on this episode of The Swell Season Surf Podcast.

What was initially a silly way to describe her surf crew, has expanded into a group of surfers of all levels, genders, backgrounds, and towns who want to learn, want to teach, or just want a buddy to paddle out with.

Yeasty Boys was founded in 2021 after learning of how many femme folks were hesitant to learn to surf or paddle out for fear of getting in the way of the male-dominated lineup. Yeasty Boys is a social club with a focus on community service. When they're not in the water, they’re cooking up ways to help out their neighbors and keep our oceans clean.

Our guest today is a founder of the Yeast Boys, Gina Jurlando. She has been surfing for her entire life. She learned to surf when she was about 7 years old, being pushed into waves on a 10ft water logged longboard from the 1970s by her dad. Her whole family are water men and women and she comes from a long line of fishermen, boat captains, and most importantly- surfers!

Gina founded the Yeasty Boys in 2021 when she realized how many other surfers felt the hesitation to paddle out due to a lack of skills or a support system. What started as a joke has turned into an ever-growing group of people who want to help each other grow and progress, no matter what their skill level. She is our guest on this episode of The Swell Season Surf Podcast.

In all, around 23 whales have washed ashore along the East Coast since December. There has been much speculation as to what is causing these deaths. Everything from container ships to wind farms have been thrown around. We wanted to bring on to the show to discuss these whale strandings and get a better understanding as to what is happening to that population along the east coast.

Our guest is journalist Andrew Lewis, who has been covering this story for New Jersey Spotlight News and is a writer for The New York Times Magazine. Andrew was a former editor at Surfing Magazine and has written for numerous publications over the years and wrote a book called The Drowning of Money Island, a story about a community left behind in the wake of a devastating hurricane. His writing tends to explore stories that inhabit the narrow corners where water and humans collide. Andrew is our guest and I’m excited to welcome him to the show.

This would be the beginning of what is being called an “Unusual...Unusual Mortality Event” for this winter for whales along the east coast.

In all, around 23 whales have washed ashore along the East Coast since December. There has been much speculation as to what is causing these deaths. Everything from container ships to wind farms have been thrown around. We wanted to bring on to the show to discuss these whale strandings and get a better understanding as to what is happening to that population along the east coast.

Our guest is journalist Andrew Lewis, who has been covering this story for New Jersey Spotlight News and is a writer for The New York Times Magazine. Andrew was a former editor at Surfing Magazine and has written for numerous publications over the years and wrote a book called The Drowning of Money Island, a story about a community left behind in the wake of a devastating hurricane. His writing tends to explore stories that inhabit the narrow corners where water and humans collide. Andrew is our guest and I’m excited to welcome him to the show.

The Fantes are the people who populate the area where female surfers live. Yama is their name for the wooden boats that still cross Ghana's shoreline today.

That is the question being asked by guests Lewis Arnold and Chris Nelson. Filmmakers who explore this question in their documentary The Big Sea.

Surfing is a $10 billion global industry – built on the dream of carefree spirits, crystal clear waters and an even clearer connection to the natural world – has never been more popular. Surfing has posed as a champion of environmental issues. But there is a dirty secret… and people are dying. Lewis Arnold and writer Chris Nelson have followed the story from the communities of Cancer Alley in Louisiana, through to the wave rich beaches of California, to the heart of the surf industry and beyond.

Through speaking with surf brands, industry leaders, surfers, cultural commentators and environmental campaigners, they ask: “Can you live with the true cost of a Neoprene wetsuit?” and, “Will surfing lead the charge of the outdoors industry and beyond, away from Neoprene, to a more viable alternative?”

The Big Sea is a fully independent documentary that was filmed over three years in the USA, Australia, France, Spain, UK and Ireland.

'Hail Mary' is the merge of a documentary biopic and a traditional surf film about unlikely rise of one of New York's greatest surfers, Balaram Stack. The Film pays homage to Balaram’s roots and the one main guiding force in his life. His mother, Mary. The film illustrates the beautiful relationship between the two, and shows the important bond that helped shape Balaram into becoming the incredible surfer he is today. Multi-award winning independent filmmaker, Ben Gulliver takes us on a beautiful cinematic journey that is Balaram’s life.

On the first episode, in order to know who Balaram is, we need to know where he came from and that story starts way before Balaram was born. It starts in the mid 70’s where Mary Stack, as a single mother had just moved to Brooklyn with a little toddler named Red, Balaram’s oldest brother. It’s there, in a tiny apartment, that you can pinpoint as the start of this journey. Mary sat with filmmaker Ben Gulliver, going through old photos. This is where we pick up her story...

Andrea turned her childhood trauma into Pee Wee Herman. Yes literally. She has survived a bunch of challenging events, like the death of her best friend, the death of her father, and being diagnosed with breast cancer all of which has never unseated her ability to move forward with her life. Andrea started a School, runs a cookie business, is a dog whisperer, excellent with children, and has the most infectious laugh of anyone I have ever met. She is truly living under the guise of authenticity over acceptance.

That might be the theme of the show for episode #4 … Being true to your own nature regardless of what anyone else thinks… especially yourself. Authenticity over acceptance. And Unconditional Self Love.

Baylor, of Wakefield, RI, has been a mainstay in the south county surf community for over 15 years and collaborates with his wife, Ashley, in their studio practice and business, Salt Pond Pottery. Baylor’s aesthetic sensibilities are broad in scope; inspired by the conflation of organic forms and industrial structures. Baylor is equally inspired by honeycombs, board shapers and the systems theory and architecture of Buckminster Fuller.

That’s where our latest guest, Chris “Buddy” Pendergast, owner of Stitchbox Wetsuit Repair comes in… Stitchbox was founded in the fall of 2019 to help give our suits a longer life, reduce the amount of waste and change our perception of what is possible when we think we are done with our wetsuits. It all started for Buddy, after a trip he took with the Worn Wear Patagonia crew, repairing wetsuits up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Upon his return, Buddy rented a studio in Rockaway at NY’s fabled Marina 59, and set up a repair shop to service the local New York surf community. Life happened, things changed, and he packed up and moved to Ventura, CA, where he currently lives and works. He was recently signed on as Noah Clothing’s newest Field Team member and he is our guest on this episode of Swell Season.

North of Nowhere is a collection of images documenting New York and the northeast surfing scene. It’s nostalgic but also eye opening look at the evolution of this once backwater surf scene. From the Lido Surf & Sport reign, to Ryan Carlson’s Martin Potter like impact on the local surfing performances, to tragedies such as 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy, and the incredible peak moments and long past swells. It was edited and co written by the former editor of Eastern Surf Magazine, Matt Pruett, a fitting partner to the making of this book. The two have created a time capsule of a special era and is a perfect documentary on New York Surfing.

We were lucky enough to have Mike Nelson, Matt Pruett and Balaram stack on hand at Pilgrim Surf & Supply in Brooklyn to discuss the book, the influences, and the impact that these photos have had on our community. It was recorded in front of a live audience and for anyone who calls themselves a New York Local, you don’t want to miss out on this conversation.

A special thanks to Christ Gentile and the Pilgrim crew for hosting us.

She is an inspiration for both men

Joana’s motto is “Feel the fear but don’t let it stop you.”

She is the focus of the feature film Big vs Small by Minna Dufton and we had the opportunity to meet with Joana while she was in New York for the screening of the film at the NY Wild film Festival. This is the second part of the episode covering Big vs Small.

BIG vs SMALL tells the inspirational story of Joana Andrade, the first Portuguese woman to surf the giant, bone-crushing waves of Nazaré. Finnish director and producer, Minna Dufton’s debut feature documentary follows Andrade throughout a period of her life as she pursues surfing bigger and bigger waves, but must process her deep trauma in order to succeed. Joana shares her deep fear of drowning and it is only when she is introduced to Finnish world champion free diver, Johanna Nordblad for the most unusual of training sessions, that she can help to overcome her fears. BIG vs SMALL is a modern-day fairytale stretching from the raging monster waves in the south to the dark stillness of a far-north, frozen Finnish lake;
it's about power and strength on top of the water, and facing demons under it. It's about trust, it's about letting go, and it's about what happens when two elite female champions share their extraordinary talent with each other.

When you see how fragile life can be, it’s not hard to make the leap that they would want to savor the sweet moments and to make the most of one's life.

Becky & Blanche would surely benefit from their parents' perspective and encouragement. With the introduction of both surfing and the Hawaiian community, they would go on to live a full and enriching surfing life.

Blanche, the older of the two, and Becky would go on to play a role in helping to shape and pioneer the beginning of women’s professional surfing. Both showed a tenaciousness in larger surf and the two would help blaze a trail in the early days of the IPS World Tour with Becky finishing 3rd in 1977 just behind Margo Oberg and Lynne Boyer and won the inaugural OP Pro in 1982.

We are honored to have these trailblazing sisters on the show for this episode of The Swell Season Surf Radio Podcast.

2414newyork,surfers,surfing,surfpodcast,surfradiotruefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/prof-grace-moon--28579019Co-host Karen Song sat down with Grace to discuss her return to surfing in recent years, after a long hiatus. She grew up surfing in Honolulu but gave it up in the late 90's to get her MFA at Pratt in New York City. She never imagined it possible or desirable to surf here of all places. So, she abandoned it for around 20 years. Eventually she returned to the sea and realized there was a lot more of the Aloha spirit than she realized here in NYC.
In the last few months, Grace has surfed her way to conquering cancer. When she was able to do so safely, she surfed during the peak of Covid in NYC, while undergoing chemo. Grace attributes surfing to helping in her healing process.
Throughout the interview, Grace would reveal a thorough wealth of knowledge of surfing in Hawaii, as both a surfer with rich personal experiences, and as an academic and intellectual who has the ability and language to untangle its history from its colonialist patriarchal lens. She is currently working on a book about Hawaiian surf history and we are honored to have her as our guest on this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio.

Music:
Artist: Sonny Chillingsworth
Song: Moe Uhana (Hawaiian Slack Key)

In the last few months, Grace has surfed her way to conquering cancer. When she was able to do so safely, she surfed during the peak of Covid in NYC, while undergoing chemo. Grace attributes surfing to helping in her healing process.
Throughout the interview, Grace would reveal a thorough wealth of knowledge of surfing in Hawaii, as both a surfer with rich personal experiences, and as an academic and intellectual who has the ability and language to untangle its history from its colonialist patriarchal lens. She is currently working on a book about Hawaiian surf history and we are honored to have her as our guest on this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio.

Artist: Sonny Chillingsworth
Song: Moe Uhana (Hawaiian Slack Key)
