The iconic waterwoman reflects on taking action on our greatest threat: climate change.


A Patagonia global sports activist and the co-founder of Surfers for Climate, Belinda Baggs shares her story with surf ambassadors Lauren Hill and Dave Rastovich of Waterpeople Podcast. She talks about acting on what she sees as the greatest threat to her son's health and wellbeing: climate change.


Belinda also shares solutions for getting involved today – from everyday changes we can all make, to applying systemic pressure for legislative change.

They talk through the critical importance of the dual and intertwined challenges of ecological and social justice, while acknowledging the "surf addiction" that shapes and guides daily life.
