This year for World Oceans Day, we wanted to celebrate one of our favourite parts of the ocean: the nineteen-mile stretch of North Devon coastline that earlier this year was officially named a World Surfing Reserve, becoming just the second place in Europe to be granted this protected status. But what does it mean for the region, its waves, and the people who enjoy them? Surfdome's head of sustainability, Adam Hall, is a North Devon local and also one of the reserve's co-founders. He recently met up with a few of the other key figures involved in the bid to discuss exactly that.

One priority of the surfing reserve is making the coastline a more inclusive space.
Wave Wahines, a surf club that meets every week at Croyde Bay, is the perfect embodiment of this ethos and the scene of many heart-warming, inspiring moments. Yvette Curtis, the club’s founder, is determined to make the sea more accessible to all.

Locals have long puzzled over the environmental factors that make Croyde Bay arguably the best beachbreak in the UK: what makes it tick, and why does it break so differently to the waves around it? Dr Kit Stokes of the University of Plymouth, who’s been studying the area's surf ecosystem for years, has a fascinating explanation.

Plastic waste is a standard feature at almost every beach in the world these days, and the beaches of North Devon are no exception. Claire Moody, the energy and driving force behind the organisation Plastic Free North Devon, explains where it all comes from and how we might start to think about getting rid of it.

The sea has been good to Jayce Robinson: it’s been his playground, his workplace, his refuge, and a source of sustenance. One of his priorities is being good to the sea in return. “I believe that if you're going to eat fish,” he says, "then spearfishing for one or two every now and then is one of the best ways to do it.”

Surfers Not Street Children x O'Neill Blog

Those most in need of surfing's healing potential and support networks also face the toughest barriers to entry – poverty, violence, legacies of injustice and discrimination. In South Africa and neighbouring Mozambique, the community-based mentorship program Surfers Not Street Children has been helping children overcome these barriers for over 20 years.
