What's up

The Smartest Surfer In The World: Cliff Kapono | Let It Kill You Dr. Cliff Kapono is not your average surfer. A Native Hawaiian, professional wave rider, and molecular bioscientist, Cliff fuses science, culture, and a deep love for the ocean in ways no one else does. Director Ben McQueen travels to Hilo to uncover what drives Cliff’s mission, capturing powerful moments and reflections from legends like Gerry Lopez, Rob Machado, Tony Alva, and Arto Saari. The result is an intimate look at a man forging a unique path—both in the lab and out in the lineup. Through his nonprofit MEGA Lab (Multiscale Environmental Graphical Analysis Lab), Cliff is leading a global push to map one million reefs by 2030, enlisting citizen scientists from all walks of life—surfers, divers, skaters, and anyone who feels the pull of the ocean. As the only pro surfer using his platform and Ph.D. to protect marine ecosystems, Cliff is proof that purpose, culture, and curiosity can fuel real change. #surfing #vice #surf Please check out the Mega Lab here: https://themegalab.org/ Like reading?
