Richard’s life is a testament to his unwavering commitment to both his passions and the planet he cherishes.
Beyond the exhilarating waves he rides and the profound joy he imparts through teaching surfing, Richard
stands as a beacon of activism, tirelessly advocating for environmental stewardship.
Preserve Nature
As surfers, we witness firsthand the beauty and power of nature. However, we also see the
changes happening – the erosion of beaches along with the destruction and the acidification
of the ocean. That’s why Richard, through his environmental blog Surfers for Science,
continually fights to preserve the natural world around us, because he understands that
the health of the ocean is tied to the health of our sport. Join him in his mission to preserve
the ocean’s beauty and power for future generations.
His profound reverence for the ocean serves as the cornerstone of his activism. Inspired by its vastness and beauty, Richard embarked on a literary journey with his project, “The Balance.” Through this innovative endeavor, he skillfully intertwines cosmic science, climate change discourse, and imaginative realms to illuminate the pressing need for environmental consciousness. With each page turned, Richard sparks awareness of humanity’s detrimental impact on our planet, urging readers to embrace sustainable practices.
Richard's commitment extends far beyond words on a page. Every visit to the beach doubles as a call to action as he diligently collects litter, leaving behind cleaner shores. His devotion to local marine life knows no bounds, as evidenced by his involvement in animal rescues. Whether it's a stranded sea creature or a distressed seabird, Richard is there, extending a compassionate hand to those in need.
Yet, his impact transcends the shoreline. Richard is a pillar of his community, embodying leadership through action. His altruistic spirit shines brightly as he assumes the role of caregiver to a beloved colony of stray cats. Providing them with shelter, sustenance, and affection, Richard exemplifies the transformative power of compassion. In Richard, we find a true activist whose passion for surfing converge seamlessly with his dedication to environmental advocacy. Through his actions, he not only navigates the waves but also charts a course towards a more sustainable and compassionate future for all.
