Gidget: The girl who surfed into Hollywood and changed surfing forever
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
You may not have seen Gidget—but without her, surfing as we know it wouldn't exist. In this episode, we dive into the unlikely true story behind the original surf girl icon: Kathy Kohner, a 15-year-old from Brentwood who surfed Malibu in the 1950s, told her dad all about it... and inspired a book, a movie, a TV show, a comic series, and a full-on cultural wave. You're living in the post-Gidget world, it matters!
