Waterpeople Podcast

What do you do with sparks of curiosity? Susan Casey follows many of them into full immersion: jet skiing down the face of a Pe'ahi set wave with Laird Hamilton, into the lightless innerspace of the deep marine biosphere via submersible, and straight to the ruins of forgotten ancient cultures to ascertain truth and significance for herself --- while taking readers along for the ride. Susan Casey, a self-proclaimed 'stealth activist,' is the author of three New York Times bestselling books including The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean, The Devil’s Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America’s Great White Sharks,  and Voices in the Ocean: A Journey Into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins.Susan was the creative director for Outside Magazine, and served as editor in chief for both Sports Illustrated Women and O, The Oprah Magazine, as well as being editor at large across all of Time Inc.’s magazine titles. Susan is one of our culture's most compelling advocates for marvelling with and protecting our oceans. .....Listen with Lauren L.

How do we apply pattern literacy learned from ocean life to the land? What have we learned from our historically colonial approach to surf culture? How do we move ourselves and our culture forward in regenerative ways that favour meaningful relationship within our own community and the living world?  Homesteading surfer, filmmaker and entrepreneur Cyrus Sutton invites us to engage with these questions, and more, in our omnivorous conversation about leaving pro surfing and Southern California, cultivating mentorships, permaculture, intergenerational relationship, questioning the assumptions of the environmental movement and the value of B Corps. Cyrus Sutton is best known  for his skill across diverse wave crafts and his creative reflections of surf culture via movies like Riding Waves, Under the Sun and Stoked and Broke. Cyrus is founder of Kordouroy.tv  and Manda Organic Skincare.  .....Listen with Lauren L.

One year after founding the Women's International Surfing Association in 1975, Mary Setterholm bought a bus ticket and left surfing behind -- her community and the culture she was helping to shape. Mary is a  graduate of Harvard Divinity School has gone on teach hundreds of women and at risk youth the art of riding waves. She shares the painful story of why she left and how she found her way back to the ocean. .....Listen with Lauren L.

Artists take us to other worlds; they reflect or refract the beauty in ours, or not. They transport us and stretch us and dream for those of us who have forgotten. We are the artful animal -- and perhaps we need art more now than ever. For more than two decades, Thomas Campbell has  shown us a quirkier and more open minded culture of surfing via sculpture, painting, photography and film. In watery circles, he's best known for his trio of analog surf films, including the seedling sprout, and the present, all of which instructively inspired surf culture to broaden its design horizons -- and take itself a little less seriously. We queried  Thomas about what he finds compelling in certain ways of wave riding, the blossoming inclusivity of surf culture, front footed vs. back footed approaches and the surf film he's currently working on. .....Listen with Lauren L.

How do we navigate our own inner ocean -- the fear and anxiety and unhelpful fixations ? Student of Zen Buddhism, and surfer, Jaimal Yogis shares some of his learnings from a life committed to riding waves and cultivating peace through varying practices of meditation and mindfulness. Jaimal has become one of the leading literary voices in fleshing out the metaphorical depth, richness and spirituality of a surfing life.

At least once a day for 36 years, Tory Strange has provided a surf report for waterfolk in his hometown of St. Augustine, Fl.  Waking most days to see the sunrise for the dawn patrol report, Tory has developed an especially intimate understanding of his local beach. Tory is also an entrepreneur and owner of one of the world's most community-centric surf shops, The Surf Station. He has shaped US East Coast surf culture by nurturing the careers of talented surfers, filmmakers and writers, and more broadly, by creating a place where many learn what it means to be part of a community of waterpeople. Tory's legacy reminds us of the power of sinking our roots in deep, and committing to our own community. .....Listen with Lauren L.

Dr. Pia Winberg is marine ecologist and entrepreneur. A fascination with the scientific properties of seaweed led her to a decades long career in both researching and implementing sustainable marine food production systems – specifically the human and eco-systemic health impacts of growing, consuming and nurturing our relationship with seaweed. Seaweed is recognized as a potentially major ally in drawing down the carbon that fuels climate change – and for its ability to create rich marine habitat and provide substantive nutrition for humankind  Pia started and runs Australia’s first commercial seaweed farm and is working to share the layered solutions, from personal to global, that seaweed offers. "This one solution could potentially draw down staggering amounts of carbon, restore marine ecosystems, provide enough seafood (brimming with healthy omega-3 fatty acids) for 10 billion people... cool the waters over coral reefs to help prevent bleaching, plus provide a material to make plastics and clothing, feed cattle, dramatically reduce methane emissions and provide a biofuel for energy….” - Damon Gameau, 2040 book, on the possibilities of seaweed ..,Listen with Lauren L.

Two Time Big Wave World Champion Paige Alms was born in Canada. At age 7, a life-altering trip completely changed the course for her family and set Paige on the path toward shaping modern big wave surfing. Paige is a co-founder of the Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing (CEWS), established in 2016, with her peers in professional big wave surfing: Keala Kennelly, Andrea Moller, and Bianca Valenti. Their vision and persistence in challenging the World Surf League’s history of pay inequity played a key role in demanding the WSL to implement pay parity and bolster women’s representation at big wave events. Paige is an all-around waterperson, who excels when the ocean is 1 foot or 50 --- whether through wing-dinging on unbroken swell lines, or becoming the first woman to get barrelled at Pe'ahi. .....Listen with Lauren L.
