“Wow. What a day. I’m excited to be here today in Huntington Beach at the VANS US Open of Surfing competition with #ShiseidoBlue Project for their second-annual beach clean-up, led by @wildcoastcostaconsalvaje – a non-profit environmental organization that conserves coastal and marine ecosystems and wildlife 🌊. This was not just about driving awareness this was about action. And I am so grateful to be a part of this,” Ian wrote on Instagram.

He added, “Shiseido Blue Project is a global initiative that launched in 2019 in collaboration with @wslpure, World Surf League’s environmental arm, committed to inspiring, educating and empowering ocean protection.”
