This is an incredibly inspiring exploration of the sea's role in
the wellness of people and the planet, beautifully written by
Easkey Britton - surfer, scientist and social activist. She offers
a powerful female perspective on the sea and surfing, explaining
what it's like to be a woman in a man's world and how she promoted
the sport to women in Iran, surfing while wearing a hijab. She
speaks of the undiscussed taboo around entering the water while
menstruating - and of how she has come to celebrate her own bodily
cycles. She has developed her own approach to surfing, which
instead of seeking to dominate the waves, works in tune with the
natural cycles of her body, the moon and the seasons. In a society
that rewards busyness, she believes that understanding the
influence of cycles becomes even more important - and we all have
them, men and women. For Easkey, the sea is a source of mental and
physical wellbeing. She explores the mental toughness needed in
big-wave surfing, and presents surfing as an embodied mindfulness
practice in which we can find flow and connect with the movement of
the waves. She stresses the need to recognize the ocean as our most
powerful ally when addressing our greatest global challenge: the
climate crisis. Above all, Easkey's relationship to the sea has
taught her about the need to meet life and evolve with it, rather
than seeking to control it. By such wisdom our planet might just
survive and thrive.
