  • Fantastically engaging

    This is first surf podcast that’s held my interest through more than one episode. I’ve been on two SWA retreats and I’ve met Holly, so it’s not surprising to me that these episodes are so good, but I am really enjoying this podcast. I hope that many others do too!

How to Read Wave Energy on a Surf Forecast with Paige
Q: Can you understand or help me understand, can you explain the whole surf line wave energy thing? Is that something that you believe in, that you agree with?
