This conversation explores the intersection of surfing, women's empowerment, and bodily autonomy, focusing on the initiatives of 'She's On Edge' in Charleston, South Carolina. She's On Edge is a Charleston-based women’s surf and skate collective that hosts meetups and special events for ladies of all ages and skill levels. Their mission is to foster judgement-free spaces for women to grow, find support, and have fun within the South Carolina surf and skate community. Founders Liz and Nadia discuss the importance of creating safe spaces for women in surfing, the impact of the patriarchy on both men and women, and the need for community support and inclusivity, in and out of the surf world. They emphasize the significance of platonic relationships and the role of fear in both surfing and sexual health, while also addressing the challenges of fundraising and the future dynamics of gender in surfing culture.
