Crossing the Tideline Ep 5. Easkey Britton on how our relationship to water can shape our behaviours and actions. May 31, 2026

Show notes

For this episode Burch takes audience with author, scientist, big wave surfer and powerhouse creative Easkey Britton. The two discuss how our relationship to water can shape our behaviours and actions, how it informs us, how it affects us and how it shapes our lives. It’s not at all a dense scientific shark chat, in fact it barely mentions sharks, but it's worth looking deeper into the shared space where humans and sharks find each other.
