Description
In this conversation, SurfAid rep Montana Denton shares how SurfAid supports remote coastal communities and promotes sustainable surf tourism. She discusses what it means to be a good steward of the places we surf, highlighting the balance between tourism, conservation, and local well-being. We chat about SurfAid’s community-driven programs, from improving health and nutrition to fostering resilience through initiatives like community farming and snail breeding for protein! We also explore Surf With Amigas' efforts to give back through community partnerships at our locations, like Rote in Indonesia. Overall we reflect on the challenges and opportunities in responsible travel and emphasize the role surfers can play in creating lasting positive change.
