Surf Science: a talk with Patagonia-Ambassador Tony Butt

The book "Surf Science" is very well known in the
surf scene. The author Tony Butt has dedicated his whole
life to the ocean. His love for surfing big waves made him also
dive deeper into the subject of the sea. Therefore he studied
ocean science and luckily for all of us, made this complex
subject more understandable for surfers by writing that wonderful
book which is already a classic. 





Tony Butt is also a Patagonia Ambassador and
expresses his deep love for the ocean into his work for NGOs like
Surfers against Sewage and Save the
waves. 





After the day of his workshop "Surf Science" in Ericeira we
had some time to talk about his life and therefore about
everything related to the ocean for example...





– his decision to go to Spain


– how the idea for his book "Surf Science" came up


– surfing big waves  compared to normal
waves 


– why society is loosing contact with nature


– Sustainability 


– and lots of more...
