We are taking a break over December and January. New podcast episodes will continue in early 2025 as we close off Season 1 and then dive into Season 2. Thanks for listening!
Episode 5: Queering surf spaces is live. We discuss the heteronormative culture in surfing, its history, & often unwelcoming spaces for anyone not cisgendered & heterosexual. We look at how queer surf groups have made their own safe spaces & how most surf orgs fail to do this.
