The Big Sea

Sean Doherty began his career with surf journalism in 1997 with Tracks magazine and became editor in 2000. His 2004 biography on surf legend Michael Peterson was the basis for an upcoming feature film and he has written for the Sydney Morning Herald, Surfer and Surfing magazines in the US, as well surfing magazines in other parts of the world. Richie Lovett is first and foremost a dedicated surfer who spends time in the ocean whenever his hectic schedule allows.
Since leaving the ASP World Tour in 2006 he has worked as a Brand Ambassador for Surf Hardware International, Aloha Surf International, and more recently Global Surf Industries. In this role Richie gets to work on many facets within these businesses; from advertising and product development, to website copy auditing and video presenting, but he is most happy when designing and testing new surfboard and fin designs.
Richie is also a spokesman for Hurley International, and has played a key role in formulating the Australian sunscreen line for Vertra Elemental Resistance. He's been a monthly columnist for Waves magazine, and can often be found commentating at WCT and specialty surfing events. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram @riklove72
