Salty Links #1
EDITION ONE.
Hello PSS community!
Welcome to our very first edition of Salty Links. Born out of a love for our local and international surfing crew, this monthly edition of PSS aims to help connect surf sisters (and their mates) to the broader water community. A gathering place of diverse forms of information, Salty Links provides a platform from which to dive into the broader community of ocean people. Jump on in!

Changing Sands tells a story of the land, waters, and coastlines of the Boonwurrung/Bunurong people. Steve Ulula Parker (Boonwurrung, Yorta Yorta and Erub man) and Lachy McDonald’s imagery and storytelling span many thousands of years and highlights the magic of a coastline consistently changing throughout the millennia. This article illuminates the stories of the resulting sand banks, rocky points and cliffs this beautiful land has been host to.

How could I begin our listen segment any other place than with our own beautiful Peninsula Surf Sister’s podcast Salty Yarns? Edition one finds us sitting down with sisters Jess, Xanthe, Leyla, and Sarah to discuss PSS’s origins and changing forms, shared connections to ocean and a breakdown of surf lingo. Warm and wholesome, this episode feels as if you are in the room with these wonderful women over a mug of steaming tea or sitting on the dunes after an ocean session shared with friends.

Dave Rastovich’s new film Finding the Fall Line is a simple and beautiful display of the past century of surfboard design. An intergenerational gathering of wave masters, this short 12 minute film is a delightful honouring of each board and surfers ability to fly across water. A quick watch and a good one to remind us of the breadth of surfboard shapes and that time spent in the water is meant to be joyful.
