Behind FIGHT FOR THE BIGHT there is one man who started it all: Heath Joske. He is a former participant of the WSL Tour and an environmental activist. As the head of the campaign 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.
I talked with the Patagonia-Ambassador Heath Joske about…
– what if feels like after six years of fighting and hoping
– his hopes and expectations when starting the campaign
– what it felt like being confronted with the persons in charge from Equinor
– his biggest struggles througout the time of the camgain
– 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
– and more interesting subjects…
