Our OG 80s surf sisters are telling their stories and it’s one that is parallel to female skateboarders from that same era. This is a movie that everyone that has a daughter that surfs or skateboards should watch.

It's the 1980s and the world of professional surfing is a circus of fluorescent colors, peroxide hair, and radical male egos. GIRLS CAN’T SURF follows the journey of a band of renegade surfers who took on the male-dominated professional surfing world to achieve equality and change the sport forever.

Featuring surfing greats Jodie Cooper, Frieda Zamba, Pauline Menczer, Lisa Andersen, Pam Burridge, Wendy Botha, Layne Beachley, and more, GIRLS CAN'T SURF is a wild ride of clashing personalities, sexism, adventure, and heartbreak, with each woman fighting against the odds to make their dreams of competing a reality.

The film drops on April 19th on Apple TV.

Some good news coming from the IOC last night. Sports that have already had their Olympic trials and named their teams, those athletes will keep their spots as the Tokyo Olympics move to 2021.

"The 33 federations governing each sport reached an agreement with the International Olympic Committee to honor all previous qualifications when the Games finally take place".

This doesn't mean much for skateboarding as Olympic Trials never got off the ground due to Covid-19. But it does settle the issue that everyone was wondering about for sports like surfing.

So it looks like we will see Carissa Moore and Caroline Marks representing the USA in surfing in 2021!

Billabong's latest video "Creatures of Color" captures pro surfers Laura Enever, Felicity Palmateer, and Alessa Quizon in a world that is haze of pink and red thanks to the use of infrared cameras. The Billabong team says;


"being immersed in surfing can sometimes feel as if you are stepping into a portal to a different planet where life becomes more colorful. the freedom, the smell, the excitement, you become one with your surroundings. a place where you can roam free and surf empty waves."
