You'll hear how the ladies in Wollongong braved the Australian waters, surfing every day in their SurfAid challenge and how Robin of the Lake Surfistas has surfed the often freezing cold waters of the great lakes for almost ten years!This fun conversation allows us to celebrate our differences but highlight our collective passion for supporting our local women's surfing communities. Join us as we explore the diverse coastal experiences and discuss the differences and similarities between two surf lady communities from across the world.Note: Since the recording of this episode Spence and Alisha have evolved The Gong Gurfers to the Go Go Gurfers.
