Girls Can’t Surf shares the untold story of a ragtag bunch of inspired, renegade Australian, American, and South African women surfers who battled against inequality, homophobia, and chauvinism of their fellow sportsmen, sponsors, and institutions. As the sea ebbed and flowed, so did their struggle, fortunes, and notoriety of these pioneering surfers, but nothing kept these radical women from catching their own waves. On this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio, host Karen Song had the privilege of interviewing the director, Christopher Nelius on the upcoming release and the process of making this film. The films release couldn’t be timelier as women in surfing continues to rise. With the WSL’s recent pioneering of equal gender pay and the sports debut in the Olympics on the near horizon, the time is ripe to look to the past, to see truly how far the sport has come, and the women who made the sacrifices, laid the foundations, and fought for what it is today.

Girl's Can't Surf: Film Director - Christopher Nelius

Our guest this week is someone who has become a staple in the lineup at Rockway and has recently gained notoriety for YouTube videos of testing surfboards under Skipper Surf Reviews. His name is Yury Tsedenov and those in the Rockaway community know him well. His videos are from a more entry level surfer perspective posting instructional clips to board reviews. Sure, any board under an expert level surfer can look good, but Yury provides a fresh and unique perspective and gives the average surfer a much better understanding of their equipment. He’s originally from Russia and came to New York City in 2009 and started surfing in 2013. His level of stoke and froth is contagious and we’re happy to have him on the latest episode of Swell Season.

On this episode of Swell Season, we are turning the tables on our regular art and design host Chris Coffin. This episode is hosted by new contributor Mimi Roterman, and she is joined by former guest and artist Kris Chatterson in what we are dubbing the 'car park' episode: a continuation of an after-surf chat from the week before. Chris Coffin’s visual and performative pieces, as well as his creative processes, anchor the conversation as he intimately shares how his experiences as an lifelong open-water swimmer and surfer are throughlines within his highly varied portfolio. The conversation turns down many different avenues, including the topic of the sacredness within gallery spaces that often feel similar to the contemplative experiences of being in the water, and the effect of the pandemic on the artistic process. We encourage you to explore Chris coffin’s work found on his website at www.chriscoffin.com He will be showing his new work at the 'Here Comes the Sun' exhibition at the Ursa Gallery in Bridgeport, CT from April 24th.
