EP 59: Pam Burridge - 1980s trailblazers in women’s surfing, The upcoming film “Girls Can’t Surf,” Fighting for equality in pro surfing, Narrabeen, Turning pro at 15, and adding Pipeline and Teahupo’o to the women’s tour

1990 World Champion and women’s surfing pioneer Pam Burridge talks
about the upcoming “Girls Can’t Surf” film about the trailblazing
group of female professional surfers in the 1980s. She describes
the early days of the women’s tour and the intense struggle to take
on the male-dominated pro surfing world to achieve equality. She
dives into her surfing origins, turning pro at the young age of 15,
and almost winning a title in her first year on the Championship
Tour. She breaks down winning the World Title in 1990 and what it
will take to get more Australian titles. Then, she touches on
Narrabeen as a stop on the upcoming Australian Leg of the tour and
how adding heavy water waves like Pipeline and Teahupo’o to the
women’s tour will change the dynamic. “Girls Can’t Surf” will be in
theaters around Australia on March 11 and New Zealand from April 8.
