Tia Blanco Rides The Vegan Wave For PETA 2
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 10th, 2014 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
Pro surfer Tia Blanco is making a splash for the vegan diet with the help of PETA2.
In her natural element on a surf board in the waters, the 17-year old who just took 3rd place at the International Surfing Association’s World Junior Surfing Championship is seen on ad that reads:
“I’m Tia Blanco, and I’m a Vegan.”
“All life deserves to be free. Help save the planet and more than 100 animals every year by going vegan.”
Blanco has been a vegetarian for a long time, but decided to take it a step further and go vegan on the advice of a family member.
“I was inspired by my uncle,” she says. “When he turned vegan, I was just really interested, and I wanted to learn more about it. … [A]nd it was really just eye-opening and disturbing at the same time, and I knew after that I didn’t want to participate in why these animals were suffering anymore.”
Like most athletes who adopt a plant-based and completely animal-free diet, Blanco has noticed an improvement in both her athleticism and over-all well-being.
“I just feel a difference in my recovery levels, my energy levels, and I feel like a better person—I feel that I’m living a healthy and happier lifestyle. And I think it has really impacted my surfing and my performance.”
