Lucy and Geraldine have been the best of friends since school, when they both became mums they decided that their love of surfing and of being in the water would not take a back seat, so they started ‘Swell Mamas’. Dozens of mums across Inverloch in south-eastern Victoria, get together every Friday morning to connect, to laugh, to share and to feel the water wash over them.
