Riley Elliott Instagram – Brand new @mazda_nz BT50 Takami and Kona I have had the privilege of being a Mazda Ambassador for 7 years now, a relationship which has grown from pure grass roots: being the Treemendous educational program which Mazda runs. This provides schools all around Nz with the opportunity to plant outdoor classrooms to encourage learning in nature and I am lucky enough to give talks to the kids about how sharks help keep the ocean alive and healthy. In parallel the Bug-man Ruud Kleinpaste also speaks about how bugs do the same for the land. Both of these ecosystems provide us with oxygen, food, water and climate which enable us to survive. Talking to school kids is a massive passion of mine, largely because they are my foot soldiers who weren’t taught via JAWS, but rather Finding Nemo, and thus have been much more open to learning and understanding what sharks are all about. The agreement I make with them at these Treemendous events is that they go home and share their knowledge with their parents in order to educate them away from the JAWS understanding most of us adults have. This amazing BT50 is a tool I use every day for my work, for my adventures and most importantly, to take me around the country to inspire kids about the importance of sharks and how half of the very air that we breathe, is only available if sharks are in the oceans. So thank you @mazda_nz for empowering me with this privileged role, for a new BT50 Takami and for funding tree planting events which act as a tool for education in nature.
Riley Elliott Instagram – I got into sharks because of surfing. It’s the natural fear for most surfers, and to be honest, ignorance is bliss for surfers. It’s the unspoken rule that you just don’t talk shark while in the line up. Where people get separated is what that ignorance is based on. Is it because they literally are ignorant to the risks of the wild environment which the ocean is, and thus react maliciously when scared or hurt by it. Or is that ignorance based on an acceptance of the risks of the wild, an awareness of it, and thus best not to get blinded by the risks but rather embrace the fear as it may be, to be sharper and act as required to survive in the wild. It’s a big difference, and as I say to people with regard to sharks, it’s ok to be fearful, and in fact you should be, but just ensure how you react to fear is in the second manner of things mentioned above. Respect the wild, use fear to acknowledge risks and catalyse instinctual reactions to be sharper, more animal like and void of societal weakness. Surfing taught me this lesson long before I employed it with sharks. Drowning is far more likely than a shark bite. Smashing your face into the reef is a real possibility. Slicing your body open on your fins, getting stung by deadly jellies are all possible. Suffice to say this trip away to Indonesia has been a great counter fix to my shark life but equally they are one in the same. When it got big, there’s fear, consequence and you can use those circumstances to go one of two ways. Which way do you go?
