I'm joined by director and producer Monica Medellin. She's the brain behind Amazon Prime Video's new series 'Surf Girls Hawaii.' I've been fascinated by this show and have already watched it twice all the way through.
I've always had this rabid interest in surfing, despite the fact that I've never done it before. I went into Surf Girls Hawaii expecting to love the surfing and action of the sport. That was great, but I found the humanity of the show is really want kept me in.
'Surf Girls Hawaii' follows the lives a group of young women who were born and bred on the islands. Surfing is in their blood and DNA. Director and show creator Monica Medellin captures their lives on the islands, how surfing is ingrained in their daily lives, the struggles and the successes of their lives both on and off the water.
I feel such a pleasure that I had an opportunity to speak with Monica and I hope we will be able to connect again. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
