"\"&lt;p&gt;When she arrives at the coffee shop and sits down across from me, the first thing I notice is her eyes. A bizarre yellow. The color of prehistoric, fossilized tree resin from which you\\u2019d extract a mosquito to make a dinosaur. If you want to get technical, they\\u2019re amber. She speaks and I respond in gasps and frantic note-scribbling as this gypsy-minstrel talks about straying from the scene, playing instruments and helping people in need. Some call Kim Diggs a surfer, Patagonia calls her an ambassador, but I believe her to be surfing\\u2019s answer to Mother Teresa \\u2014 if Momma T could play the mandolin.&lt;strong&gt; \\u2014Beau Flemister&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/1\\/files\\/2013\\/04\\/march2012_kimdiggs_pic.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/1\\/files\\/2013\\/04\\/march2012_kimdiggs_pic-667x835.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Girl: Kim Diggs\\\" width=\\\"667\\\" height=\\\"835\\\" class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-63695\\\" srcset=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/04\\/march2012_kimdiggs_pic-667x835.jpg 667w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/04\\/march2012_kimdiggs_pic-166x209.jpg 166w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/04\\/march2012_kimdiggs_pic.jpg 1000w\\\" sizes=\\\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nPhoto: Duncan Macfarlane&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kim:&lt;\\/strong&gt; Since I was around 12 I knew that I wanted to travel the world, make art, play music and help people. And Patagonia\\u2019s morals and direction are in line with that, so it\\u2019s a good fit for me. They\\u2019re always trying to give back to the communities around them.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;My whole family surfs, and my dad used to take us on surf trips when we were younger. We\\u2019d go to Nicaragua and he\\u2019d say, \\u201cOK, the main priority is to give back to the community.\\u201d And we were young and just wanted to surf, but over the years it stuck. Because surfing\\u2019s a pretty selfish thing \\u2014 as fun as it is \\u2014 but when you go to all these places you can turn that around while you\\u2019re there.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;We\\u2019ve been going to this dump called La Chureca over there [Nicaragua]. It\\u2019s literally a dump, and pretty horrible. But we go out there and just spend time with the kids living in those conditions \\u2014 addicted to glue and stuff \\u2014 and just love on them.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I\\u2019ve played music since I was 13. I\\u2019m not a great musician by any means, but I can play the piano, sing, play a little guitar, a little mandolin, harmonica and I\\u2019m learning the banjo. If I could make it big in a bluegrass band, I\\u2019d probably quit surfing.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
