EP4 - Bodysurfing For a Cleaner Ocean - Creating Australia’s First Ocean Plastics Supply Chain

In today's show I'm joined by Rikki Gilbey, Founder at WAW Handplanes.  Rikki has basically single-handedly propelled the sport of body surfing in Australia. After some early success, Rikki wanted to scale up production with injection molding, but being passionate about ocean conservation, wanted to do his part for the ocean plastics problem. 

That turned out to be harder than expected!  He was not to be deterred, however. In this show we hear how he spent 3 years making connections, experimenting and ultimately creating Australia's first Ocean Plastic supply chain, giving birth to the amazing BadFish handplane along the way.

Another truly inspiring story of an Aussie entrepreneur building a sustainable business from the ground up!
