OCEAN FRIENDLY SURF PRODUCTS

As we all know, the majority of products that most surfers use to enjoy the ocean are at odds with our love for it. Traditional plastics, resins and neoprene are fossil fuel derived products which are bad for our oceans. As we become more conscious of our choices, there is a growing demand for non-petroleum alternatives, and there are many forward thinking companies now making those products readily available, from using wood, bamboo, flax seed, rubber to ocean recovered post-consumer plastic waste. Check out the list below. If you are a company who offers ocean friendly products and want to be included in this list, please get in touch.
