Layne Beachley AO

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "Watch me." 

7-time world champion Layne Beachley is widely regarded as the most successful surfer in history.  The only surfer to claim 6 consecutive world titles, Layne's story is the testimony to the power of self-belief.

A traumatic childhood ignited a flame of desperation to prove she was worthy of love. Layne’s affinity for the ocean and competition created the perfect storm to achieve her dream of becoming the best of the best.

Learning how to lose taught her how to win.  19 years on tour, 29 tour victories, 7 world titles (6 won consecutively), 5 in a state of fear.  

Her career was an emotional rollercoaster of happiness, injury, adventure, depression, failure and ultimately, success.

An officer of the order of Australia, Chair of Surfing Australia and founder of Awake Academy, Layne lives a life of unapologetic honesty, sharing her experiences with humour, humility, standing firm in her values with a clear vision for the future.  Her sights are firmly set on cultivating connection, growth and happiness in humanity.
