Description: Layla the great granddaughter of surf god Huey cares for all sea creatures and watches over those who enter the water.
Layla swims the seas of the world and from time to time redirects lost surfers who have been pummelled into the depths below by large waves.
Surfers finding themselves alone, helpless, lost in bubbles and turbulence have been steered to the surface by Layla for one more breath of life.
