Over 40 years ago, a group of surfers from Malibu, California, were concerned about escalating coastal development at their favorite surf spot, and they took action. In this episode, we hear from Surfrider’s co-founder Glenn Hening, world champion surfer and Surfrider’s first ambassador Shaun Tomson, and current CEO Dr. Chad Nelsen to explore the motivation behind and the evolution of Surfrider’s environmental mission to become the world’s most impactful grassroots coastal and ocean conservation organization.
