WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF SURFING
ma·ven /ˈmāvən/ (noun): an expert or connoisseur.
The old guard is out. Surfing has changed forever. Girls too young to ride rollercoasters are getting pitted in the world’s heaviest waves; the movement for equal opportunity is prevailing; and women in the waves are reclaiming our histories and our futures.
But before equal pay, before Stab Ladybirds, and before waves like Pipeline and Teahupo'o hit the women’s Championship Tour schedule...there was Sea Maven.
Sea Maven is the long-awaited multimedia platform representing the unified voice of women's surfing. Born in 2018 as a feminist blog disrupting the surf industry, Sea Maven has since evolved into a media brand and global community.
We cover culture, contests, current events, and ocean-inspired stories, combining a sharp editorial eye with a modern, inclusive perspective. Our mission is to celebrate the evolution of women's surfing, pay homage to its past, and push for continued progression.
