New Zealand surfer Marama Kake, 32, likes to surf naked, according to a story in the Courier Mail.

“I’m not out there to get everyone to look at me, I just love the sensation and simplicity of surfing in my ‘sustainability suit’,” Ms Kake said. “I cover up, or paddle away, if I am anywhere near children and have never had any trouble with lifeguards or authorities and I’ve been doing it for years in Australia and New Zealand.” … Ms Kake, who has “get naked, get sustainable” inscribed on her boards, said reactions were mostly favourable. She said women came over to say they admired her courage.

Hmmm, looks like Kake has found the perfect green marketing vehicle. If only Brad Gerlach had used that excuse naked surfing might have caught on around the world years ago.
