Madison Bolt
With a diverse career that spans photography, writing, sailing, surfing, and marine science, Maddy Bolt brings a unique blend of skills and passions to every project. Her work has been featured in major publications such as Surfer, Travel + Leisure, Wavelength, and Oceanographic, where she has written extensively about her experiences sailing around Indonesia and across the Pacific.
Maddy’s commitment to empowering local communities led her to establish a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, OceanFolx, that teaches Indonesian women how to swim and surf, fostering deeper connections between women and the ocean.
As a previous brand ambassador for companies like Rip Curl, Avasol and Indosole, Maddy champions environmentally and socially conscious causes. Drawing on over a decade of experience in film photography and a degree in marine science, she creates engaging, thoughtful content that reflects her deep connection to the natural world.
Maddy grew up on Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee), Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Wendake-Nionwentsïo, and Mississauga land (Georgian Bay) and holds this place very near to her heart - a place that remains there no matter where in the world she may be.
