Crystal Thornburg-Homcy

Roles: Director, Producer

Born and raised in Hawaii, Crystal Thornburg-Homcy’s earliest memory is hanging out at the beach with her parents. Suffice it to say, Crystal was raised surfing: her dad used to push her into waves at Waikiki and by elementary school her mom was taking her to the beach to surf after school.

Crystal is an accomplished longboarder, but she is also an all-around ocean athlete who races outrigger canoes, competes in long-distance swims and paddleboard races, kayaks, bodysurfs and freedives.

Crystal has a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science with a minor in Fine Art from Chaminade University in Honolulu. She volunteers with the Audubon Society at Waimea Valley and has recently worked with other nonprofit environmental groups including Conservacion Patagonia, Save Our Seas, Surfrider Foundation, Kokua Hawai’i Foundation andThe North Shore Community Land Trust, among others.
