Episodes

EP1: Represent

The thought of Surfing being in the Olympics was once a dream and is now a reality. Watch as we follow USA Surfing’s Olympic hopefuls Courtney Conlogue, Carissa Moore, Lakey Peterson, and Caroline Marks show what it takes to make the team.

EP2: USA Surfing Prime

Greg Cruse, USA Surfing CEO, and Andrea Swayne, USA Surfing President, realized surfing in the USA had a gap in its youth program compared to other nations. The prime series was created to give these young athletes the knowledge and training to make it on the World Tour. Surfing was one of the more chauvinistic sports and only in recent years have women been more welcomed to compete. Find out how Women’s Surfing has progressed and become a sought after career.

EP3: The Mamba Mentality

2019 is the make or break year for any top surfer wanting to compete in the Olympics. The path to Tokyo is a complex mix of professional and amateur contests held over a 10-month span held on beaches of over a dozen surfing nations. The athletes hear from Kobe Bryant explaining his importance on physical training and dieting for the Olympics.

EP4: Nature vs Machine

To be good at surfing can take many years of practice. Surfing in itself is an ever-changing canvas given the unpredictability of the ocean. When the world received their first glimpse of Kelly Slater’s wave pool in late 2015 though, suddenly perfect waves could be ridden endlessly. But can a perfect wave machine ever truly replicate and replace the ocean?

EP5: 2019 ISA World Games Part 1

In September 2019 Carissa, Caroline, and Courtney made their way to Miyazaki, Japan to compete in the first-ever Olympic Qualifying series for Surfing. In order for each surfer to provisionally qualify for their country, they must participate in the International Surfing Associations (ISA) World Surfing Games. Competitive Surfing has always been an individual sport; how will the team handle working together as a team for the first time?

EP6: 2019 ISA World Games Part 2

With Team USA out of the main rounds and into the repechage, the athletes have another shot at making the podium. Competing in the repechage means the women will have to surf twice as many heats a day as one would normally do. It will be some of the most physically challenging events that these athletes have had to endure in a contest leading up to finals day.
