LAYNE BEACHLEY : SURFING LEGEND
"The Road SurfR board is the closest thing to surfing out of the water. There is no friction, no lateral resistance ? it almost floats! I love it."
Layne has dominated that world of female surfing like no other. She has 27 career victories (25 on WCT; 2 on WQS) to date. She was the World Surfing Champion for six consecutive years (1998-2003). Layne has ridden the largest wave ever by a woman ? at 30ft. She continues to compete at the highest level.
Layne has won numerous sporting awards, including ESPN Surfer of the Year (2001), Australian Female Athlete of the Year (2003), USA Surfer Magazine Female Surfer of the Year (2003,4) and the Laureus World Alternative Sportsperson of the Year (2004).
Off the water, Layne is a businessperson and an influential spokesperson for several community and charitable causes, as well as establishing her own "Layne Beachley - Aim for the Stars" Foundation, aimed at encouraging young women in a variety of fields.
Layne is also a Road SurfR board rider and enthusiast!
