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.

After struggling to find a surf hat that checked all the boxes—functional, stylish, and secure—Emily Li, a surfer and entrepreneur, decided to create her own. The result? Peach Surf Hats, a brand that encourages surfers to protect their skin and look good good while doing it.
In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, Emily shares her story of stepping away from the tech world to start a surf-focused business, the challenges of building a product that truly serves women surfers, and why she believes in the power of women lifting each other up.
Spoiler: This episode is about more than just the hat—it’s about creativity, community, and taking risks to create something meaningful. It’s about showing up for yourself and making space for others to do the same.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Taking the Leap: How Emily transitioned from tech to starting a surf-inspired business.
- Confidence Through Consistency: What surfing and entrepreneurship taught her about showing up for yourself.
- Supporting Women: Why cheering each other on in the lineup and in life makes all the difference.
