Taking care of our environment
Surfing is a sport that is all about the being a part of the environment. You just can’t ignore it. So we do our best to make sure that we have as little negative impact on it as possible. In fact, by helping to organise Beach Cleans, we actively work to improve our environment. Other measures we take include:
• Instead of replacing boards every season, we have them re-skinned so they are as good as new but have less impact on the environment.
• We recycle as much as possible, use recycled paper in the office and provide recycling facilities for our customers and staff.
• Our surf school vehicle uses up to 20% waste vegetable oil.
• We use harvested and filtered rain water to wash out wetsuits and equipment.
• The electricity used in our office comes from Ecotricity who take the money their customers spend on electricity and invest it in clean forms of power like wind energy.
• All our promotion materials are printed on recycled paper using non gm, soy based inks.
• We raise money for Surfers Against Sewage, an environmental campaign group.
