Party Wave - The Women's Surfing Podcast

Good News: WE'RE BACK! Bad News: We're back to say goodbye. But we won't leave without talking about the Big News of Steph Gilmore winning her 8th world title and, of course, reminiscing on all of our favorite Party Wave pod memories. We've had a blast!

Go out and catch some Party Waves in our honor - xo Ava, Jade & Toby

We couldn't not discuss the Mid-Year Cut that got both surfers and spectators debating this new competition setup by the WSL. Drama got even more exciting when the Pro Surfers released a letter asking the WSL to cancel the cut and then the WSL released a letter saying...NO. Jade, Toby & Ava try to figure out what the heck is going on and debate who's in the right. 

Wanna follow along? Check our Instagram story highlight "Mid-Year Cut" @womenssurfingpodcast for both letters.

Coming at ya this month with a personal struggle, where can we find the best wetsuit? Its gotta be cute, functional, priced well, and cant single-handedly destroy the environment....does it exist? Listen to find out. We reveal the best kept secret in wetsuit brands, give our maybe too honest opinions on some household names and burden you with the knowledge of neoprene vs yulex. Hang in there for the end where we read an adorable email from a soon-to-be dad and use our Surf Term of the Day to teach you how to fall with confidence.

Sunscreen, you know you need it. Doesn't mean you don't have questions, and you better believe we do. Mineral vs Chemical? Burn vs Tan? Is anything ever truly "reef safe"??? Listen as we chat about science in the least science-y way possible. PLUS a recap of WSL Pipe & Sunset competitions, exciting listener write-ins and a surf term of the day that leaves us wondering, what does "Shaka" mean to you.

WE'RE BACK! And boy do we have a lot of catching up to do. We recap the alternative surfing methods we've ventured into this Summer and dissect the pros & cons of wave pools. Are they the wave of the future? Will they cause a division amongst the surf community?

Raise your hand if you've ever felt personally victimized by a swim suit. We get it girl. That is why we brave the wild world of Bikinis this week to bring you an episode dedicated to understanding what it is we need from these tiny pieces of fabric. We debate what top style is least likely to slip up, what bottoms will stay out of your bum, and what brands manage to still look cute while doing so. We also come through with tips to help you stay on budget and honest feedback on critical concerns (Do my high waisted bottoms look like a diaper?) Stay tuned to the end for our BIGGEST GIVEAWAY YET courtesy of Jolyn Swimwear!
