Sophie Hellyer's biography

At a glance

  • Champion of diversity and inclusivity in surfing
  • Advocate for ocean pollution and sustainability
  • Founder of #RiseFierce, promoting women's empowerment through cold-water swimming
Sophie Hellyer, a native of Devon, first made a name for herself as a talented surfer at a national level during her teenage years. However, as her career progressed, she focused on fostering a more diverse and inclusive surfing culture. Alongside this, she became a prominent advocate for ocean pollution and sustainability. Sophie's unwavering honesty and outspoken nature led her to deliver a TEDx talk on sustainability in 2018. In addition, she has written extensively on feminist and environmental issues, including topics such as plastic-free periods, ethical fashion, and flight shame. Her work has been featured in prestigious publications like The Independent and GQ Magazine. To further empower women, Sophie founded the #RiseFierce collective to inspire them to try cold-water swimming. Through hosting retreats and events, she hopes to create a community of like-minded women who promote positivity, mindfulness, and meaningful change in society.
