From the shores of St. Lucia to the evolving global surf landscape, Eli shares how the ocean shaped his identity—and how the camera became his way of translating that experience into something lasting. He explores the power of creative disruption: what it means to challenge who gets seen in ocean culture, who gets to tell the story, and how those stories are framed. Eli opens up about the responsibility of documenting Caribbean aquatic culture not as backdrop, but as living culture—rich with history, memory, and meaning. This episode is about shifting perspectives, reclaiming narrative, and building a visual language that reflects truth, not stereotype. Because when you change the story, you don’t just change how we see the ocean—you change how we see each other. @islandlensmediainc - IG www.islandlensmedia.com https://youtube.com/@islandlensmedia?si=BgMV7TNxtfZZPKsK The WeSurf Podcast is recorded by WTF Studios and is produced and distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Podcast Network.","meta_description":"In this episode of WeSurf, Kwame and Nigel sit down with filmmaker and surfer Eli Jules for a conversation that moves far beyond the lineup.
