Episode Details

Jessi Rebel, artist and surfer, is riding the waves of cultural rediscovery at the Australian Indigenous Surfing Titles, where surf, art, and ancestral connection collide at iconic Djarrak. Guided by their Aunty, Rebel’s journey into Wiradjuri heritage began with art, leading to profound healing and belonging—especially in the water. As they surf and create, Rebel honors “Sea Country” and the resilience of their family, whose identity was once buried under colonization. Now, at 33, they channel pain into powerful expression, turning the women’s longboard event into a community ritual of shared waves and support. With National Reconciliation Week’s “All In” theme echoing through the surf, Rebel calls everyone to amplify Indigenous voices, stand together, and ensure culture thrives on Country.
