Ocean don’t care: Surfing in the body you’ve got

When you think "surfer," you might picture someone lean, tanned, and impossibly graceful. But out in the real world—and the real lineup—surfers come in every shape, size, and age. In this episode, we unpack the insecurities, stereotypes, gear barriers, and fatphobia that often keep average-bodied people out of the water. From wetsuit struggles to surf school shortcomings to quiet confidence-building wins, this one’s a love letter to every surfer who’s ever asked: Can I really do this in the body I’m in? (Spoiler: Yes. You can.)
