About this project
SheChange Notes is a small independent project about one of the most demanding corners of sport: big wave surfing, and the women who have fought for a place in it.
We write plain-language explainers about the waves, the safety culture, the economics of the sport and the long campaign for equal access and equal prize money. We also write about the documentaries that tell these stories — how they are financed, shot and brought to festivals.
What we are not
- We are not the official website of any film, production company or athlete.
- We are not affiliated with surf leagues, contest organizers or sponsors.
- We do not collect donations, sell tickets or distribute films.
- We do not publish private contact details of athletes or filmmakers.
The domain previously hosted a website for a documentary project. This site is unrelated to its former owners and does not use their materials.
Editorial approach
We rely on public sources: contest results, league announcements, published interviews and books on surf history. When facts are disputed, we say so. If you spot a mistake, please tell us through the contact page.
