This new episode of our podcast is an interview with a true icon of surfing – Dave Rastovich.

You know Rasta well, for his unique free-surfing style and ability to master many types of wave-riding craft, but also for his environmental activism, including work to help stop whaling in the water off Antarctica and more recently, oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight. This podcast episode covers these actions by Rasta but also dives into his career and journey as a free-surfing professional.

It’s a cracker to say the least.

If you would like more information about the proposed oil drilling by Equinor in the Great Australian Bight or would like to take action yourself, the following links will be helpful:
