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...
