Watch Flick's Film Skin Deep on Vimeo here.

Surfing Nude and Embracing Vulnerability w/ Flick Palmateer:

Meet professional big wave surfer and artist Felicity (aka Flick) Palmateer.
Flick is known for having ridden the biggest wave ever surfed by an australian female and is one of the first women to compete in the WSL's first ever big wave women's invitational at Jaws.

Obviously, Flick is one to push herself, not only into huge waves but also in her passion of art. She has just released her new film: Skin Deep.

"Skin Deep is an avant-garde audio-visual performance-art project that meshes Felicity Palmateer’s two life-long passions; art and surfing." In Skin Deep, Palmateer explores her own interpretation of what it means to be free. By stripping down and surfing nude in idyllic locations

Join us as we discuss:

• Flick's relationship with her father and how he has pushed her in surfing and in art
• Flick's view on how women are represented in the surf industry and her unique perspective having grown up as a sponsored athlete in the surf industry
• The vulnerability of surfing nude in her film skin deep and how making the film has evolved her inner dialogue in the most empowering way

Breakups, as well as big transitions in life, are never easy. Thankfully, surfing has the ability to provide so much while we are moving through difficult times in our lives.

Of course, the conversation would not be complete if we didn’t include your confessions to How have you used surfing to get you through a breakup?

How the world has changed In just one month!

In this episode, we take the opportunity to discuss the topic we are all faced in 2020: Covid-19 and how it has affected us. Our guest Natalie Small, Licensed Family & Marriage Therapist as well as the Founder of Groundswell Community Project, is exactly who you want to hear from in a time like this. Her free-spirited yet nurturing personality will make you laugh and give you hope!

Join us as we discuss: 

• How her baby, Groundswell Community Project, was born and how she asked her employers for maternity leave to take time to develop Groundswell Community Project
• The balance between masculine & feminine energy in surfing and how we, as individuals with different energies, can learn from one another and balance each other out. 
• How Natalie is adapting to quarantine life in Peru and her recommendations for handling this unprecedented time.

The conversation would not be complete if we didn't include your confessions to: What are your overall feelings about the current situation with covid-19?
