70. The Truth About Leashless Surfing: It’s Not What You Think
Surfing without a leash isn’t about looking cool—it’s about control, awareness, and knowing when you’re ready. This episode is a reflection on skill progression, self-trust, and the invisible steps it takes to surf leashless with intention.
In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™, I share why and when I choose to surf without a leash, the mistakes I made early on, and the checklist I’d recommend for any woman who surfs considering it. Whether or not you ever choose to go leashless, this is really about how we know we’re ready to push ourselves—and what it looks like to do that with care and connection with the ocean.
