Cheers to Glenn Hening from Oxnard, CA. Glenn Hening has a unique reputation in the world of modern surfing. The founding father of the Surfrider Foundation and co-founder of the Groundswell Society, he has also organized over a dozen conferences on the arts, science, and issues of surfing as well as the annual Rincon Invitational, now in its 26th year, to raise funds for scholarships and protect the surfing environment.
A high school math and history teacher, he has over 30 years of teaching experience in both public and private schools in Ventura County, Los Angeles, and Central America. His work experience outside of education includes writing computer code for spacecraft at JPL and conducting science-basd, environmental impact studies. His two children, Pierce and Helen, now have careers in technology and the entertainment industry. Glenn is married to the love of his life, Heidi, a yoga teacher. They live a block from the beach in Oxnard Shores, where Glenn can be found checking the surf and riding waves in his free time.
Glenn says, "I really appreciate the way Session Magazine has a fundamental, uncluttered connection to flowing with nature in so many different ways. After reading the first two issues and keeping up with your weekly updates, I’m genuinely stoked about what you’re doing. I’ve seen just about every surf mag out there (still have my first SURFER magazine!), and Session really stands out as something original and fresh. As they say in Australia—good on ya, mate!"
Thanks for the kind words and inspiration Glenn! It's amazing to have the support from friends like you.
