Episode 050: Barton Lynch
Episode 50 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Barton Lynch.
Barton Lynch is one right out of the box. A whole lot more than a World Champion surfer. Both a soul surfer and astute competitor. A rebel with a cause. A big mouth with the smarts to back it up. A leader. A big wave surfer and a big hearted humanitarian.
Winner of 17 major surf championships and winner of the 1988 World title in big barrels at Pipeline on the Oahu’s North Shore.
Barton helped blaze the trail of professional surfing and fought for surfers to have a rightful voice in their sport. His Accolades include, Australian Surfing Hall of Fame, Australian Sporting Hall of Fame, Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame.
He had the honour of commentating at the recent Tokyo Olympics, introducing surfing as an Olympic sport to the world.
Barton loves sharing his passion for the sport and has partnered with Go Pro in 2021 for the BL Blast Off, which goes global in a new online video format.
A leading coach of elite surfers, a champion for disabled sportspeople and his philanthropic work is legendary.
It takes plenty of guts to become a world champion and it takes guts to speak to your mind in this day and age. Oh and he’s still tackling 40 foot waves in Hawaii, just for fun.
