Fluid Floor Talk – Women in Surf

Join local women surfers Helene Enevoldson, Margi Burns and Lyn Worland as they share their diverse personal experiences and involvement in the local surf scene. They will be joined by YAM Senior Curator Vanessa Jacob who will facilitate the discussion.

Women have been integral to the development of the Mid North Coast surfing scene; however, they have often been underappreciated or overlooked.

Despite their incredible skill and dedication, female surfers have faced significant barriers, with their achievements often sidelined by domestic responsibilities or overshadowed by a male dominated surfing culture, with many of them only being celebrated later in life.

While times have changed and recognition has grown, the fight for equality in surfing continues. It’s essential to celebrate the achievements of these pioneering women while also telling the truth about their experiences, both past and present. Their stories of resilience and triumph serve to inspire future generations of female surfers who continue to carve their space in the waves.
