As surfers we all love the ocean. We spend a lot of time on the coastal area and in the water. The five oceans cover about 70% of our planet, they clean our air and compensate on global warming. Unfortunately, most of the products we use, usually involve materials that are not good for our oceans and environment. It is important for us to make lifestyle choices that will decrease the negative impacts on the environment. Luckily, nowadays more and more people care about these things. There are a good selection of recycled materials and environmentally friendly products for us to choose from.

Our beautiful island, Bali, is unfortunately heavily affected by the waste pollution. That’s why many people are starting to think, how to make use of all that waste lying around? These two surfers saw an opportunity in all the plastic bags and other waste floating around. You can now buy fins for your board that are composed of about 100 bottle caps and made from the waste on the beaches in Bali. This is just simply amazing!
Let’s not forget our board shorts and bikinis. Nowadays many brands are making eco friendly clothing. They use hemp, organic cotton or just purely recycled materials. Halla Halla is making sustainable swimwear for girls using fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. Their unique prints along with great design will surely turn heads on the beach! Greenline is using recycled and organic fabrics for their classic boardshorts. On top of this they are also donating a portion of their profits to non-profit organizations that are helping us to preserve our environment.
