[edit] Headline text
Hi Layne love your surfing you really enspire me. From Tori
[edit] Uncited material
I have removed some material that states her birth name, and who she was born to, as well as speculation that she joined surfing to cope with personal loss. None of this is sourced, and I don't see how we can justify adding the material without any sources, especially as this could be false. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 10:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Layne Beachley is famous for offering her services to charities but not honouring her commitments —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.49.232.252 (talk) 05:13, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Further unsourced material
The following is unsourced information:
- Her aggressive surfing style has earned her such nicknames as "The Beast" and "Gidget".
- She founded Aim For The Stars Foundation to financially help girls and young women achieve their ambitions and help them in life.
- In August 2006 she successfully reclaimed the world's number one ranking for the first time in over two years by winning the Brazilian leg of the world tour.
- One of her favourite beaches is believed to be Long Reef, a popular beach in Sydney's Northern Beaches of Australia.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 10:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
