59. From Blanket Forts to a Global Surf Community: 5 Years of COASL
Manage episode 463626575 series 2836081
What started as a mic under a blanket and a dream to tell authentic women’s surfing stories has grown into a thriving podcast and global community. This week, we’re celebrating 5 incredible years of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women’s Surfing Podcast™.
In this special episode, I’m reflecting on how far we’ve come—from launching in 2020 to more than 60 episodes, 50,000 downloads, and the creation of The Surf Société, a space inspired by you, our amazing listeners. I’ll share the story behind the podcast, the challenges and joys of building this community, and what’s next as we embark on season six.
Join me for a heartfelt celebration of the power of women’s surf culture and the incredible connections we’ve made along the way.
