On Saturday, Oct. 24, Hearth & Soul hosted Women Making Waves, a panel celebrating women in surfing, their accomplishments and the local surf community.
Hearth & Soul, a lifestyle experience store, was created in 2015. The store’s concept was born from the desire to create a gathering place where friends can connect, discover and acquire unique and interesting things including top brands and local artisan goods.
The panel was led by Mitch Kaufman, a respected leader in the surfing community. The panel featured nine local surfers at different stages of their careers. The panelists shared their experiences, accomplishments and perspectives, which gave audience members an inside look at surfing and the dedication it takes.
Women Making Waves featured Sisters of the Sea President Shelley Ritter, Maggie Demsey, Lanea Hanalei Mons, Maddie West, Ansley West, Rebel Rose Cagnon, Chrissy Bush, Addie Mason, Gillian Boss and Savannah LaVasser. Mons recently earned runner-up honors at the La Marginal Surfing Pro 2026, a World Surf League (WSL) QS 4000 competition held Oct. 14-18 in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
Hearth & Soul has several upcoming events including the Zofia Day Trunk Show on Nov. 17 and 18. Customers can come into the store and meet Lisette, owner and designer of Zofia Day and shop the collection of fine jewelry just in time for the holidays.
Hearth & Soul will also host Couples and Cocktails on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. The theme of the night will be “Peace on Earth" as guests step into the ’60s for a night of shopping, live music and refreshments. Guests will also enjoy a candle-making experience and can create a signature scent to take home.
