Welcome to The Wipeout Weekly—a beginner surf podcast and digital surf magazine created for everyone who’s ever looked at a wave and thought, “Maybe today’s the day I stand up.”

Whether you’re brand new to surfing or just tired of pretending you know what “duck diving” means, this is your place. We’re here to make learning to surf easier, more fun, and way less intimidating. No gatekeeping. No condescension. Just real stories, honest advice, and a whole lot of wipeouts.

Every week, we share deep dives into surf culture, practical tips sourced from our 74,000+ strong beginner community (Girls Who Can’t Surf Good), and interviews with surfers, coaches, creators, and ocean obsessives. From figuring out how to pop up without face-planting, to understanding why everyone’s mad about wave priority, we cover it all—with curiosity and a bit of sarcasm.

This is not your average surf blog filled with elite lineups and mysto slabs. We care about beginner-friendly surf destinations, body-positive wetsuit recommendations, and how to recover from the worst surf session of your life with dignity (or at least snacks).

If you’re into beginner-friendly surf travel guides, unfiltered interviews with real surfers, or want to understand what a “closeout” even is, you’re in the right place.

We offer beginner-friendly surf advice,so you can dive into our Surf Skills section, check out our latest podcast episodes, and discover our Beginner Surf Destinationslibrary.

So if you're looking for a beginner surf podcast that doesn’t talk down to you, a surf blog that actually explains things, or a newsletter that treats surfing with both reverence and ridiculousness—you’re in the right place.

We believe the best surfer is the one having the most fun—and probably wiping out the most, too. Paddle out with us. We’ll meet you in the whitewater.
