Heath Joske is a former participant of the WSL Tour and an environmental activist. As the head of the campaign "Fight for the bight" he gathered surfers from all around the world to protest against Equinor, the Norwegian giant. that wanted to start drilling in front of his beautiful frontyard: Australias big bight, a unique place where nature still seems to be untouched.

– why the "big ones" still have the power to destroy the environment

– sharpening our consciousness for the ocean and the planet

– sustainability and healthy food
