Live in Bristol: Sally McGee- Cultivating a Thriving Women’s Surf Scene in Northeast England

Ocean Woman: Live at The Wave. Episode 1: Sally McGee

This is a very special episode, not only because it is with the legendary Sally McGee, but also because it is the first in our 3-part 'Ocean Woman: Live' series. This is a series of conversations that we held on the 2nd of July, 2023 in front of a live audience at The Wave in Bristol!

Everything we do here at Shaka Surf is about community building and this event was no different. We gathered our community together for a full day of surfing, skating and storytelling and the result was nothing short of magical! Keep your eyes peeled for future live events. We love nothing more than connecting with our listeners face to face. 

Our first guest in this series is the legendary Sally Mcgee. Sally is a surfer, Finisterre ambassador, mum, activist, world traveller, surf coach and founder of Yonder, a women's surf school based in Northeast England.

Yonder is the definition of a purpose driven business. We have always been inspired by Sally's passion for welcoming and integrating women into the surfing community. In this conversation, we talk about Yonder's origins and values, Sally's journey of surfing throughout motherhood, activism, travel, and so much more.

We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it.
