Bodysurfing, Big Waves, and A Lesson in Flow

Bodysurfing, Big Waves, and A Lesson in Flow

In this episode, Holly sits down with Katie McConnell to explore the world of bodysurfing and big wave surfing. Katie shares her inspiring journey—from learning to surf as a beginner, to falling in love with bodysurfing, to eventually competing in some of the world’s most powerful waves. They dive into the tight-knit big wave surfing community, the deep connection between surfing and nature, and the role fear plays in pushing boundaries. Katie also reflects on her background in marine biology, her vision for environmental advocacy, and the future of women in big wave surfing. At its core, the conversation is a powerful reminder of what it means to pursue your passion, face fear head-on, and give back to the communities that shape you.
