Voices in the Waves: Tara Ruttenberg on Surfing and Sustainability

It's, yeah, it feels like home and your parents are still here.
Picture this: you're catching a wave in the beautiful waters of Costa Rica, but it's not just about the surf. In this episode of 'The Rima the Jungle Girl Podcast', Rima Danielle Jomaa chats with Tara Ruttenberg, a writer and PhD student specializing in sustainable surf tourism. Tara shares how she uses her passion for surfing and writing to amplify women's voices, both in the water and on land.
From dealing with patriarchal challenges to finding her home in Costa Rica, Tara's journey is as inspiring as it is empowering. Tara talks about the hurdles she's faced, like being silenced by mainstream media and the backlash she received for speaking out. Yet, she stands firm, using her experiences to set boundaries and protect her art. Her story isn't just about surfing; it's about resilience, growth, and the power of storytelling.
The conversation also dives into Tara's sustainability work and her role as a program assistant for a study abroad initiative called Surfing and Sustainability. She explains how dating across cultures has broadened her perspectives and enriched her life. Whether she's discussing the cultural nuances of relationships or the cathartic power of yoga and writing, Tara's insights are both enlightening and relatable.
Rima and Tara also touch on Tara's book project, 'Women's Surf Stories', which aims to share the diverse experiences of women surfers worldwide. It's a testament to her commitment to giving women a platform to be heard. If you're interested in surfing, sustainability, or simply hearing a compelling story of personal growth and empowerment, this episode is a must-listen. Dive into Tara Ruttenberg's world and discover how she's making waves both in and out of the water.
