In the next episode of the podcast we discuss how queering surfing spaces makes for a more inclusive surfing culture and reflect on how, due the history of mainstream surfing, some surfing organizations do not provide safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ surfers. ⬇️
TheDeepDuckDivePodcast@DeepDuckDivePod

Episode 5: Queering surf spaces is live. We discuss the heteronormative culture in surfing, its history, & often unwelcoming spaces for anyone not cisgendered & heterosexual. We look at how queer surf groups have made their own safe spaces & how most surf orgs fail to do this.

My co-host, Karen Graaff, and I explore the waves of surfing's history in Africa from colonial times to the present in these next two episodes of the The Deep Duck Dive Podcast ⬇️. We take a Africanist approach to the oceanic turn in tracing surfing's history. #surfhistory

We have just dropped two episodes on the history of surfing in Africa. Part 1 covers surfing in West Africa in the colonial era (from c.1500) and part 2 reviews the diffusion of surfing in Africa from c.1900 to the Olympic present. Listen here thedeepduckdivepodcast.alitu.com

Check out the next episode of The Deep Duck Dive Podcast - a critical surf studies and hydrofeminist public scholarship project thinking with/in surfing.
TheDeepDuckDivePodcast@DeepDuckDivePod

Podcast Episode 3 has dropped: in “The Waves Don’r Discriminate” we discuss the issue of fairness in the sport of surfing, and how a term that sounds neutral is in fact heavily politicised. Listen ⬇️ thedeepduckdivepodcast.alitu.com/episode/d96342…
