Lucy Small is surfer and equal rights activist & Maddie Meddings is a surf, travel and lifestyle photographer and filmmaker. The two have a new film debuting named Yama. The film follows Lucy as she travels to Ghana to meet with a group of pioneering female surfers and skaters.

Once a stronghold of the transatlantic slave trade and with a history of Atlantic aquatic surf culture that precedes colonial invasion. Yama aims to tell a story that challenges the representations that many African nations are commonly subjected to in western media.

The Fantes are the people who populate the area where female surfers live. Yama is their name for the wooden boats that still cross Ghana's shoreline today.


This is a story of a reclamation and joy. We are stoked to have them on our show.
