Maui big wave surfer Torsten Durkan had one of those ideas that seemed obvious despite never being done before: He’d dedicate the 2016 El Niño winter to surfing the biggest waves he could find, and for every foot of that wave he’d be raising money to support research on coral bleaching. Boom. The first ever Surfing Be Cause campaign was born. That winter, Durkan caught a 50-foot bomb at Jaws that raised a little over $3,000. He donated it all to Dr. Ruth Gates, a researcher at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology who selectively breeds coral and compiles stocks that will be resistant to the conditions of warmer, more acidic ocean waters.
