Party Wave - The Women's Surfing Podcast

We couldn't not discuss the Mid-Year Cut that got both surfers and spectators debating this new competition setup by the WSL. Drama got even more exciting when the Pro Surfers released a letter asking the WSL to cancel the cut and then the WSL released a letter saying...NO. Jade, Toby & Ava try to figure out what the heck is going on and debate who's in the right.  Wanna follow along? Check our Instagram story highlight "Mid-Year Cut" @womenssurfingpodcast for both letters. Sponsors:  Aloha Collection - https://aloha-collection.com Sin-Min - https://sin-min.com

Coming at ya this month with a personal struggle, where can we find the best wetsuit? Its gotta be cute, functional, priced well, and cant single-handedly destroy the environment....does it exist?

Hang in there for the end where we read an adorable email from a soon-to-be dad and use our Surf Term of the Day to teach you how to fall with confidence.  Sponsors: Aloha Collection - https://aloha-collection.com Jolyn Swim - https://jolyn.com
