The Inevitable Return with Zachary Zezima and Shuuluk Leo-Retz

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, host Tyler Breuer discusses 'The Inevitable Return,' a short documentary film with filmmaker Zachary Zezima and Kumeyaay surfer Shuuluk Leo-Retz. The film explores the entanglement of military technology, atomic testing, and contemporary surfing on the militarized beaches of San Diego. Our conversation highlights Shuuluk’s journey in reclaiming surfing as a practice of joy and connection on his indigenous land. We preview the 'Shredding: A New Lens in Surf Filmmaking' program, which challenges outdated stereotypes in surf culture and showcases diverse voices from around the world.
