ATHLETE & KEYNOTE SPEAKER

India Robinson is more than a professional surfer—she’s a storyteller, mentor, and advocate for self-belief.
At just 22, she made history as the only Australian rookie on the World Surf League Championship Tour in 2022 and went on to claim the 2023 Challenger Series Championship and multiple Australian titles.
But India’s journey isn’t just about surfing. It’s about courage, resilience, and standing firm in her values.
Raised in
Jan Juc
Growing up in a competitive household with three older brothers, India developed a fierce determination to succeed. Yet, beneath the surface, she battled self-doubt and the pressure to fit into expectations that didn’t feel true to her.
As a young professional athlete, she was asked to compromise her authenticity—pressured to present herself in ways that didn’t align with who she was.
In a defining moment, India chose to walk away from a sponsorship that no longer felt right, reinforcing the importance of self-respect and trusting her instincts.
No easy
Break
Her toughest challenge came in December 2021, just after qualifying for the Championship Tour, when she suffered a serious concussion while surfing in Hawaii. The injury forced her to pause, reassess, and truly listen to her body—teaching her that strength isn’t just about pushing forward, but also knowing when to step back and heal.
Now, India shares her story to inspire others. Whether she’s in the ocean, leading a workshop, or standing on stage, her message remains the same: self-belief is the foundation for success.
