About this listen
Yvette Curtis is founder of Wave Wahines, a club she initially set up for her eldest child to have a safe space to surf. Since its inception eight years ago, it has broadened out to include both girls and women from all communities, as well from the LGBTQIA+ community, and it’s become known for fighting for diversity and inclusion in surfing.
Episode highlights:
- how Yvette became an accidental founder
- how Wave Wahines included mums over time, not just girls
- time for action - why there’s still so much to do for diversity in surfing
- feeling like an imposter + why it’s an advantage
- the WSL decision to be in Abu Dhabi
