The conversation highlights their work with the nonprofit Laru Beya Collective, which empowers historically excluded youth through surfing, and emphasizes the therapeutic and unifying power of the ocean. We also delve into their travel adventures, cultural challenges, and aspirations, including upcoming events like the 'Totally Ghoul Surf & Costume Contest' on October 27th and the 'Surfers in Solidarity Paddle Out for a Ceasefire' event on October 20th. Farmata and Autumn offer insights into how surfing fosters resilience, personal growth, and community support, with special nods to their mentors and organizations that are making a significant impact.
