Nature of Surf Women reveals the ocean’s transformative power and the deep bonds women forge through shared experiences in the water. As we witness female bodies moving in harmony with nature and listen to their stories—layered with the sounds of waves, rain, and birds—we awaken a profound sense of freedom, self-realization, and vibrant energy.

    "Life mirrors surfing. Sometimes you see a wave and say, “I know how to handle this.” And then another wave comes, and you think, ”I don’t know how to ride this one, but I’ll try and see what happens.” Gabhy

    Combining documentary photography with a fusion of sounds of nature and audio interviews, we can showcase women’s individuality, creativity, and positive impact on women’s well-being, including environmental activism and social initiatives. This immersive experience makes the book more engaging and meaningful—leaving readers inspired to connect, participate, and take action.

    This project challenges mainstream portrayals of female surfers by celebrating rather than hiding the physical and emotional marks life leaves behind.

    We photographed 30 women, ages 12 to 67, representing a wide range of body types, ethnicities, and surf abilities to create a unique artistic mosaic that reflects the beauty and strength of womanhood.

    Each woman featured stands out for her deep connection to the ocean and her holistic, vibrant approach to life. In many different ways, they have all experienced transformation and found healing through surfing.

    "We wanted to approach surfers from an unconventional perspective and break the stereotypes that persist in traditional surf photography. The book consists of 22 stories of individual journeys, best friends adventuring together, family challenges, finding surf buddies as well as mother-daughter bonding.”

    Gabriela Tellez, photographer.

    "When you paddle out, you deserve to be there. Ask yourself, “How do I feel? How does the ocean feel? What’s the taste of the ocean, the smell of the ocean?” Be present. Surf from your yoni. Surf from your core instead of your mind." Natrishka
