Tappa sits down with surfer, TV presenter, and reality show winner Liz Cantor — a true trailblazer who went from grommet in the lineup to becoming the first-ever female judge on the World Championship Surfing Tour.

Liz shares the story of her surf-stoked upbringing, her unexpected breakthrough in judging (spoiler: she was too accurate to ignore), and her jump into the media spotlight — from winning The Mole to presenting weather, hosting live radio, and more.

The chat flows from surfing and storm chasing to family life, horse riding, and the chaos of reality TV relationships. Liz reflects on the evolution of women’s representation in surfing, the media’s role in surf safety, and how to balance passion, parenting, and public life without wiping out.

It’s candid, inspiring, and just the right amount of unpredictable — just like Liz.
