Josh Kirkman (picture by Jessica Lindsay) is a former Australian bodyboard champion and so knows and understands well the dynamics of surfing and several months ago became the CEO of Surfers for Climate.

Josh, who can be seen in action in these short clips - "HUMAN/NATURE - Joshua B. Kirkman Trailer" and "Josh B. Kirkman in Scotland" - is eager to have surfers better understand the impact they have on the environment and has been interviewed many times about how surfers should equip themselves - "Bare for Good".

Surfers, according to Josh, are the "custodians of the coastline" and so those serious about their surfing need to align themselves with Surfers for Climate.
