About this episode
Cari introduces an interview with surfer Caroline Marks, a 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist, world champion, and one of six featured athletes in Red Bull’s film “Now Days,” premiering May 1 on Red Bull’s YouTube. Marks explains how women’s surfing has rapidly progressed, including the WSL’s equal pay shift in 2019, and describes how the film—two and a half years in the making—brings fierce rivals together to show distinct styles and how women can push each other while still competing for No. 1. She recounts the full Olympic experience in 2024 after placing fourth in Tokyo, discusses surfing’s risks (reef, injuries, sharks, wipeouts), and shares training staples like Pilates, weight work, and swimming. Cari ends with encouraging words for viewers to watch the film and support the broader rise of women’s sports.
