Meet Katherine: a 37-year-old mum from rural Somerset who didn’t grow up near the ocean, doesn’t consider herself sporty, and yet—has somehow fallen completely in love with surfing.

It all started with a camping trip to the Gower, a borrowed foamie, and a bold “why not me?” moment. In this episode, Katherine takes us through her first awkward pop-ups, standing (literally) in the sea, her quest for a bigger board, and that magical moment when you ride whitewater all the way to the beach and think, “Wait… I’m doing it?”

If you’ve ever felt like the most unlikely surfer in the lineup—or had a foam board rash in weird places—this one’s for you.
