If you haven't heard of Patti Paniccia, you can be forgiven. Surf history and the magazines have all but white washed women pioneers such as Patti and their contributions to the beginning of Professional Surfing. Patti was not only one of the first women to compete on the pro tour, but also was a founding member and a director of the IPS World tour in the mid to late 70's alongside Randy Rarick and Fred Hemmings (which was a precursor to today’s WSL).

Patti went on to become adjunct law professor at Pepperdine Law School and a CNN correspondent, having been nominated for an Emmy with her work on an investigative series on the court system’s failure to deal adequately with infant abuse. In 2000 she wrote the groundbreaking book, "Work Smarts for Women: The Essential Sex Discrimination Survival Guide."

We had the incredible opportunity to help set the record straight with Patti and other women's contributions to professional surfing. It's a fun and fascinating conversation and it was an honor for us to have Patti on the show. We hope you enjoy...
