Cyrus Sutton is a professional surfer, documentary filmmaker, permaculturalist and DIY king. He's also a friend of Tessa's and in this episode the pair get chatting about small scale agriculture, surf adventures in Russia, life in a van, the commodification of nature and power of storytelling and mythology. Cyrus is a deep thinker with a clear understanding of the connectedness of our planet - from ecology to sustainability, to surfing and the way in which humans can have a more meaningful and rewarding existence within nature. He grew up in the OC in California, and has spent the majority of his life on the road, creating his own curriculum but since the covid shut down, he planted roots outside of Portland and put the decades of his regenerative farming and permaculture knowledge to good use.
