i’m delighted to announce I’m now an official Mooncup Ambassador (after being an unofficial one for years!). I started using a Mooncup about four years ago and have been raving about them since to just about every person with a period who will listen. And some people without periods too. Having a plastic-free period is really important to me for both my body and the health of the oceans.

Period products are the fifth most common item found on Europe’s beaches, more widespread than single-use coffee cups, cutlery or straws. I’m stoked to be a part of this short film raising awareness of the issue with City to Sea. The soundtrack is entirely made from plastic waste sounds and all period plastic imagery is CG so no plastic was bought to create this

Last year I spent my birthday working on a feminist porn set with production company Sugar Town Girls.. I wrote the following about my experiences and why i think we need to make more porn, not less. Sorry mum.

It’s 10pm on a Sunday night and I’m lying in bed wondering if I need to bleach my anus. I’m a 31-year-old woman and a proud feminist but I’ve somehow fallen into a deep, dark Instagram hole. At least my labia don’t need tightening, I think to myself. Or do they?

On a recent photoshoot in the Maldives with Torq Surfboards, I asked the brand if we could invite some local female surfers. I thought it would be great to add some diversity to the catalogue, which is normally full of pictures of blonde-haired men and me, and may also provide a platform for the emergence of new role-models to inspire the islands' younger girls. When they agreed, I began to realise the scale of the challenge I had set myself. 'How many women even surf in the Maldives?' I wondered. Not many, it turns out. And could I even find one willing to join us?

There's a scene in Trouble, Lisa Andersen’s new film, where, over archival footage of her surfing Huntington Beach as a teen, she reflects on her early days as a competitive surfer. Andersen says: “I wanted to surf as good as the guys.” And here's the thing: Andersen did surf as good as the guys, but she surfed in her own way – as a woman – too.

Surf Girl Magazine interviewed me for their latest magazine, we talked about changes in the surfing industry, the people who inspire me and my rise fierce tribe. You can pick up a copy in WHSmiths or zoom in and squint to try and read it below...

Caster Semenya, the 800m runner who won Olympic gold at London 2012, has been unfairly discriminated against for years because she challenges perceptions of what it is to be a woman by daring to have a testosterone level higher than the average.

Spot the difference? Same ocean, same waves, same result, half the money. If you think the gender pay gap isn’t real, look again. Last week, this photo at the Billabong Ballito Surfing Pro Junior Event in South Africa showing female surfer Zoe Steyn taking home just half the money of her male counterpart went viral.

When I read Wavelength Magazines British Surf Broadcast last week, I was unimpressed by the under-representation of British women, so I decided to unearth the success stories and tell them myself.

I have less two weeks before I wake up at the slightly more daunting age of 31. These planets sure do roll around fast. Turning 30 didn’t bother me at all, I leapt into it with a big smug smile on my face, a bottle of organic prosecco, a handsome man by my side and a bonfire surrounded by my friends

This is the first in a series of overly honest product reviews, bought to you by some cringe worthy experiences, one photo of my bum and a small amount of credit card debt.

I was really happy to see Chelsea FC making progressive steps toward gender equality in the news last week with the name change of their club from Chelsea Ladies FC to Chelsea FC Women.

Wow! What a great panel discussion we had last night at the ACM POP UP x WOMEN IN ACTION SPORTS down in Shoreditch. I joined downhill mountain bike champion Manon Carpenter, GB snow park and pipe performance manager Lesley McKenna, and host Sam Haddad to discuss the biggest issues facing women in action sports.

Noura’s father made her contractually marry her cousin when she was 16, she refused to accept and sought refuge with a relative for three years. She returned after her father said the marriage was cancelled, but had been tricked and was forced into marriage. She refused to consummate the marriage for the first 4 days.

Meet Kadiatu Kamara. She is the first and only woman surfing in Sierra Leone. Let’s make the surfing industry healthier, more diverse and more inclusive, by helping her get to the 2020 Olympics.

It seems I’m becoming increasingly political in my old age. I know this subject may be a little controversial, I know it will be met with resistance, but I care, I really care. And I want more men to care about this too.

Often when I open up a discussion about women’s issues, such as the over-sexualisation of female athletes, violence against women, or the exploitation of female factory workers in developing countries, the natural discourse tends to be someone asking “what about the men?”

While I was in London this week I met up with my friend Matt Barr for lunch, and we had a good little catch up on the whole media farrago I was in over the last couple of weeks.

This morning I went live with Jenni Murray on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour. We discussed the sexualisation of female athletes, the damaging monoculture we are all too often presented within the media, and the importance of more diverse role models.
