Style comes from a raw, natural part of a surfer in ways that make them unique. Lauren Lindsey Hill is a surfer that exudes grace, humility, depth, fun and meaningful direction in all of her expressions. Her style, in turn, gifts those same qualities to the surfing world in a way that is uniquely her own and a treasure for the art of riding waves.
After surfing for less than five years Lauren acquired a handful of competitive titles, including U.S. Women’s Amateur Longboard Champion in 2001. Upon graduating high school, Lauren was faced with the decision between continuing her education and pursuing professional longboarding.
Lauren went on to earn degrees in Environmental and Social Science from Stetson University. While at college, her passions for surfing and environmental activism coalesced. She has since published academically on the intersections of surfing, sustainability, and gender issues.
Her work and activism continue to revolve around marine conservation and gender as they relate to surfing culture. Most recently, Lauren participated in the Transparentsea Voyage, traversing 270 miles down the Californian coastline on an 18-foot kayak to raise awareness about coastal environmental issues there. She serves as an ambassador for Women for Whales and Surfers for Cetaceans.
Between travels, Lauren splits her time between her childhood home in St. Augustine, Fl and the world-class point breaks of Byron Bay, Australia.
