The Founders

Two women are standing on a wooden deck near the beach, smiling and posing for the photo. One is leaning against a weathered wooden post, with a surfboard at her feet, while the other stands next to her. The background shows the ocean with a boat and cloudy sky, and flowering bushes nearby.

Katharine Wright

Kath has been a water lover her whole life. Growing up on the NSW Mid North Coast, she’s been immersed in ocean activities for as long as she can remember – from surf club and competitive swimming as a child, to ocean swimming as an adult, and discovering her love of surfing in her 40s. There’s yet to be a water-based adventure she doesn’t embrace with enthusiasm.

Now based in Cottesloe, WA, Kath is mum to Charlie, Lucy and Frank. Amid the busyness of motherhood, she finds her joy in movement, sunshine and the sea. Whether its adventure racing on trails, or paddling through the open water, she thrives on a challenge and the revitalising power of nature.

Edwina Black

Yoga has been a constant in Ed’s life for almost 25 years, offering her a way to move, reset and create a sense of balance. She values the importance of meditation and mindfulness practices, and believes that being in the ocean brings that same sense of freedom and presence - there is a simple joy in saltwater, sunshine and the feeling of being completely immersed in the moment.

Based in Clunes, Northern NSW, Ed is a primary school teacher and busy Mum to three kids – Mac, Harley and Josie – and she understands firsthand how essential it is to carve out time for yourself. She embraces the art of slowing down, breathing deeply, moving with intention and creating space to reconnect with your sense of self as a way of life.
