Oceans – The Blue Heart of Our Planet

Windsurfing, by definition, requires at least two basic elements; wind and water. As windsurfers, we play in the water, and for many of us, that water is the ocean. The ocean is our playground, but not only our playground, it’s the blue heart of our planet. Motivated by Sylvia Earle’s recent TED presentation, I realized that with thousands of windsurfers visiting this site each day, I’m in a good position to help spread awareness of the need to protect our oceans, not only because we depend on them for our fun and recreation, but ultimately because they are vital to the health of our planet. Please take a few minutes to watch Sylvia’s presentation.
