Layne Beachley Ao Email & Phone Number

Sydney, New South Wales, Au

Layne achieved yet another first in Australian sporting history by becoming Surfing Australia's Chairperson. She is the first former female World Champion of any sport to take on the role in a National Sporting organisation. Layne brings an undisputed level of credibility as both a competitive surfer and a social entrepreneur. With seven ASP World Titles and a total of 29 tour victories her competitive record is unmatched. Layne has also given so much back to the sport of surfing through her public profile, 15 years of active service on the ASP board and staging the richest ASP Women’s World Tour event for seven consecutive years. In her own words: "I have a vision to bring Australia back to being the dominant performer on the world stage of professional surfing, on both male and female world tours. I want more Australian future world champions and Gold Medal winners as we progress towards Olympic inclusion in 2020.“To achieve this we plan to significantly expand the High Performance Centre at Casuarina, enabling us to build an even bigger state of the art facility that is recognised and respected worldwide for nurturing and developing future champions. The centre will also cater for broader community engagement across charities, corporate and education providers, offering access to training, ground breaking research and leadership programs, further consolidating Australia’s reputation as the global home of high performance sport. “I am extremely grateful for the confidence and skill set of the board, which is a result of the leadership and vision for the organisation that has been held by Norm Innis during his 12-year tenure. I am excited to be stepping into this role at such a pivotal time in Surfing Australia’s growth and together with the board we will be setting a course to steer us firmly to the top of the international arena."
