Layne Waves Goodbye to the Surf

At 36 years of age, with seven World Champion surfing titles behind her, Layne Beachley has called it a day. This Australian legend - and our proud ambassador - has decided to quit competitive surfing and focus on her business projects and charity work. It's been quite the ride for Layne, but it's not over just yet. Layne will still be competing in the odd event next year, but she will not be going for another World Title. Layne is, however, looking forward to retirement and leaving the surfing industry in the very capable hands of some up and coming female surfing stars.

We know Layne will continue be a success, both in her sporting and personal life, and remain a favourable role model to the Australian public.
