Beau has taken his career in many different directions and charity work has also been a huge part of Beau’s life, being an activist for the NSW Cancer Council for five years and also been the face of one of their Campaign’s ‘Smoking in Movies’. That continued in 2009 when he created his own Charity event called Surf Skate Slam and found a way to give back to the sport that has given him so much by raising money for under privileged children in Australia.
