The next two weeks is basically following g THIS!

Who’s in the Room? Who Isn’t? Back in January 2024, I opened the Ocean and Coastal Futures Conference at the iconic Royal Geographical Society, as a Keynote Speaker.

Who’s in the room, but mostly - who ISN’T? We need to change and it’s time for actions over conversations……..

A snapshot of the most recent findings on our diversity in UK surfing. The perceived accessibility has dropped to a whopping 80% think it’s NOT an acceptable sport or hobby!

Surfing is accessible…… Is it really???

Has accessibility to surfing improved since we last ran this survey? Have a read and let me know what you think.

With only 2.5 months left before I travel - I wanted to share a little headline (&more in the comments) about my @church illfship.bsky.social

This was such a great interview. He is definitely changing, certainly my view of politicians into one where they actually answer questions! Who knew!

Nothing quite says Saturday like a megaphone and a March 💙 @standuptoracismuk.bsky.social

The pure joy of a cold water October dip 💙🩵

When you enlist the family to stop all this from going back out to sea!!! So proud of them all #PlasticPollution #FishingWaste #ProtectOurPlayground #NorthDevonWorldSurfingReserve

The view that always comes with a price! The sad reality of plastic pollution is everywhere! But it doesn’t stop the beauty or Mother Ocean - we just need to remember to say thank you and pick it up when we see it and replace and reuse where we can 💙 #PlasticPollution #ProtectWhatYouLove

Sunset dog walks are the perfect remedy to a day of lows 💙

The best news we could hear!!!!

Nature is incredible. Yesterday we found this unhatched spotted dogfish. Having our youngest with us who is obsessed with nature was amazed to see this and continues to grow her curiosity. #Nature #Curious

When some of the peer support Raven group meet up at the @wildsummituk.bsky.social - community counts

Some fantastic news 🩵

My favourite place to be especially when I feel like I need to connect and reboot my faith in myself and the world around me 🩵🤍🩷

The pride of surfing with an amazing group of beautiful humans as I begin my journey to becoming a fully fledged surf coach! After 20 years of being a PT and 9 years of running a surf club - it’s time to make my role official lol 💜💜💜

Sometimes I am on dry land enjoying nature with my family and friends!!! This was one of those times!

I’m blessed to be with family in mother ocean as we find time amongst work and the busy summer crowds to remember why we love it here and why we strive to protect it

Spending time immersed in this has gone from fear to freedom in 12 short years!! Still amazes me how that transition has changed my entire life

Embracing my inner (very hidden but very enthusiastic) sailor!!!! #WaterWoman #Sea

A really scary reality!! Definitely a conversation my friends and I in the UK have had about plan Bs with the rise here too.

My favourite place with the best crew!

This interview was absolutely fantastic and I signed up as a brand new member of the Green Party as a direct result, having never been a member of the big political parties through utter disillusionment. Brill interview

What’s it like to be working in the EDI (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) space in the current climate? In total honesty, it’s a pretty scary place to be right now.

Sometimes it’s tough fighting for what you believe - especially at the moment.

A rare moment of a shorty surf in the UK!! Whaaaaat!

Dominant Culture????? Dominant Culture and what does it mean when we talk about surfing?

Are we still living this dominant culture……… what do you think?
