Lydia Ricard

Joining the team in 2024, Lydia Ricard was our first Ambassador in North America. Based in Tofino, she’s a constant smile in the line-up and a mainstay of the surf community on Vancouver Island.

After falling in love with surfing on a trip to Costa Rica in 2014, she followed her love of the ocean all the way to the West Coast of Canada, and has been there ever since.

Now a familiar face in the local surf scene, she’s built a solid career as a surf coach, founded the Goofy Club to gather similarly ‘left’ minded compatriots, and continues to hone her craft in the cold waves of the Pacific Northwest.

“My way of giving back is to share the parallels I see between life, surfing, and the ocean. It's my way of expressing gratitude and passing on the priceless life lessons the ocean has taught me.”
