Pacha Luque Light
Athletic Ambassador
Pacha Luque Light is a 23 year old Ecuadorian-Australian surfer led by passion and purpose, sharing stories and doing what she can to heal the Earth. At 14, she organised a paddle to raise awareness for a World Surfing Reserve from Snapper to Burleigh, Australia. She competed on the WSL World Qualifying Series full time for 5 years, she decided to step back from the contests and shift into free surfing and advocate for ocean playgrounds. Since then she’s traveled back to her birth country of Ecuador and continued her work in ocean conservation and coastal protection with local communities.
