Fun times are afoot as “Surfing as a Dance: How one woman found grace in and out of the water” and I are invited to be part of various surfing gatherings.

The first is the Byron Surf Festival on Saturday 23 February in a gorgeous gathering led by Lauren Hill and Dave Rastovich to launch their Waterpeople Podcast. They are hosting a storytelling session around the theme “Overcoming” and I’m feeling humbled and stoked to be telling my 8-minute story alongside other surfing storytellers Tim Baker, Chrystal Dawn and Chip Richards. It will be a heartfelt occasion indeed…and all are welcome to join us.

Here’s the little promo video:

 

On Thursday 21 March at 6pm, Surf World at Currumbin is hosting a stellar gathering that’s all about Women in the Waves. Former world champions Pam Burridge, Pauline Menczer and Phyllis O’Donnell are coming along as is indigenous surfer from Fingal Jalaan Slab. I’m thrilled and honoured to be presenting and signing “Surfing as a Dance: How one woman found grace in and out of the water” at this gathering alongside photographer Alison Gowland (Currumbin Ali). Come along and join us if you’re from the Goldy!
