Captain McKenzie Clark - Kona, Hawaii

Dropping In to Power: Personal stories of the transformational power of surfing from women of all levels, all ages, all over.

McKenzie Clark is a self-made waterwoman who headed to Kona on her own at the tender age of 18--with a mission. Her life since has been a testimonial of courage, adventure, humility, and badassery. From solo adventures around the world with a backpack and a Lonely Planet book, to surviving a shark attack, to getting her captain’s license in her 40s, Mckenzie has consistently modeled a life unconstrained by fear. An accomplished surfer, she shares deeply about her victories and vulnerabilities in the water. Her willingness to cop to her own competitiveness took us into the deepest conversation we’ve had on the pod about etiquette, hierarchies, what is really going on in the lineup, and what the future might hold as more women enter the lineup. Her adventures are so inspiring, don't be surprised if you are booking your next, or first, surf trip before you even finish the episode!
