Layne continues to inspire

After meeting one of my ultimate heroes Layne Beachley over Easter, I was stoked to catch up with her again this week! Layne recently came second in the Four Seasons Surfing Champions Trophy in the Maldives, amid an all-star, all-male field. We spoke about surfing single fins, and her passion for helping the environment, in particular the huge plastic problem in our oceans due mostly to misinformation, confusion and inaction.


Check out my interview with Layne here:


One of the projects Layne is involved in is the Vac from the Sea Initiative, by the Surfrider Foundation and Electrolux, involving an awareness campaign around non-biodegradable plastics, and the amount that is heading out to sea, and harming animals.

Everyone can help the environment and marine life, by being involved in a local beach clean-up, or contributing to an environmental group.
