Withitgirl Wednesday - Queentide (@queentide.band), one of the talents from last year’s @divacup_surf 👀

Queentide is an alt-indie rock collaboration that walks the line of crunchy Americana with a raw, refreshing take on 90’s post-punk. Formed in 2019, the band spent their first few months rehearsing on their Santa Barbara front porch, coining a genre that would eventually define their sound: Porch Rock.

Currently based in the SF Bay Area, Queentide can be found playing shows all along the US west coast, though will always call the California central coast their home.

The band will be around this weekend at the @divacup_surf invitational! @going__mads will be competing and running one of the stages and @bela_gardens will be showing art! Come on out to support them and listen to this year’s musical talents 🕺

🌊 New on the Withitgirl webzine: When Maddy Bolt noticed that only local men were in the surf lineup in Lombok, she sought answers from the women in the community - were they even interested in surfing? Yes, but there were barriers.

Determined to break those barriers, Maddy’s insightful discussions led to the creation of Oceanfolx, a volunteer-led organization empowering local women to swim, surf, and connect with the ocean in a sustainable way. Dive into her inspiring journey and learn more at withitgirls.com!

Withitgirl Wednesday - Marley (@mvrlenv_)

“Hi, I’m Marley! I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, fortunate to grow up in a family where our lives were centered around the sea. From a young age, my parents taught me about the names of creatures in tide pools, stood at the front of their longboards to ride the waves, made dinner from mollusks and seaweed found on the coastline, and ventured far in search of communities in surf hubs around the world. The ocean has been an ever-present force in my life, shaping my experiences and becoming an essential part of who I am today.

What I love most about surfing is the opportunities it brings—opportunities to learn, explore places I might never have seen, meet people from diverse corners of the world, and connect with the ocean and the Earth on a deeply personal level. Surfing isn’t just a sport; it’s a way to engage with nature’s rhythms and embrace the unexpected. The ocean teaches patience, humility, and respect—lessons that continue to guide me, both in and out of the water.

This has lead me to help found @grrrlsonboards, and work with dozens of brands within the surf industry that also reflect these values. I love to be able to emulate this spirit and show others as well the magic and healing the ocean has to offer.”
