We’re proud to announce that we’ve renewed our relationship with Cal Major as brand ambassador for 2019.
Paddleboarder, veterinary surgeon and environmental campaigner Cal made a huge impact in 2018 with her ‘Paddle Against Plastic’ that saw her Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) from Land’s End to John O’Groats to help raise awareness of the effect that plastic pollution is having on our coastline and waterways.
The journey saw her SUP for up to 12 hours a day along the west coast of Britain, as well as travelling inland along canals and rivers. As Cal traversed across the country she had to battle dangerous channels, navigate in fog, deal with changeable winds and wild camp amongst cows!
Along the way, Cal set two new World Records as the first and fastest person to SUP from Land’s End to John O’Groats and was also recognised with the Points Of Light Award by the Prime Minister for the great work that she does to raise awareness of plastic pollution.
A stunning film of this epic journey is due for release soon. Check out the trailer below:
Speaking about the renewing the partnership with dryrobe, Cal said:
"I'm seriously stoked to be a dryrobe ambassador - they're a really awesome group of people who share my passion of enabling people to get outside and active, connect with nature and do what they can to protect it. I'm looking forward to seeing how we can continue to protect the places we love together this year, starting with our local community in North Devon! I'm also excited to share my top ten uses of a dryrobe... clue - it's not all getting changed and keeping warm!"
Gideon Bright, Founder and Director of dryrobe added:
“It's a pleasure to continue to work with Cal. Her dedication to raising awareness about the effects of plastic pollution is truly inspiring. Cal has got some amazing projects lined up for this year, we can't wait to see what she gets up to!”
Cal has got big things lined up for this year and we’re looking forward to continuing working with her throughout 2019, including an exciting collaboration coming up very soon. Watch this space!
