Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Hosted by Laura Day, this show gets into honest, thoughtful, and sometimes opinionated conversations about what it means to be a woman in the water today.
From women’s surfing and surf culture to confidence, identity, lineup dynamics, and personal stories, each episode explores the conversations we’re not always having out loud — but probably should be.
You’ll hear interviews with everyday surf ladies, professional surfers, local legends, community leaders, and women shaping surf culture, along with Laura’s own reflections on surfing, womanhood, and the real experiences that come with building a life around the water.
If you’re ready for an unfiltered conversation about what it’s really like to be a woman surfer, you’re in the right place.
