Our “Home” series takes us all around the world and is a deeper dive into the unique stories each one of our surfers has to tell—celebrating their families, cultures, and countries while we’re at it. For Pacha Lina Luque Light, “home” was never as straightforward as four walls and a roof. Born in Ecuador and raised beach-side in Australia, with six-month long stints back in the Andean cloud forest, most of Pacha’s childhood was spent off-grid in one way or another. From a young age, Pacha’s mother Anja (an environmental activist and musician) raised her with the notion that “home” is far more than a house—it’s the people and community you surround yourself with.
