Green Ocean Surfing - About us

We often approach surfing the wrong way: what you see… is not necessarily what matters…

“nice board”, or “these boardshorts match my lycra” or even worse “surfing makes me look cool!”.

But in the end what matters is that you surf, and once you’ve tried surfing you’ll never quit. Once you catch your first wave, you’re hooked !

What we would like to do is to bring surfing back to its true essence, help surfers respect the ocean, the environment and other surfers who share our passion and experience. If surfers know more about the environment they’ll respect it more and they’ll make sure others respect it too. Learn how to surf in the best possible way, advance and teach others, the world will be a better place…

In the end it’s just a man and a wave, and whatever stands in between them is man-made. We, as surfers and human beings, are responsible if something comes between us and nature: 99% of the stuff we use is among the most polluting (such as neoprene, resin, surf wax, etc.). GREENOCEANSURFING doesn’t want to radically change a worldwide business, we want to raise awareness of the issue. Knowledge is the best weapon in the fight against pollution.
We, as consumers, can make the surf industry become more environmentally aware by choosing the right products. And, as surfers, we can and MUST do all we can, to prove we deserve the gift we’ve been given: riding waves. If we knew the extent of the environmental damage caused by making a surfboard and the environmental impact of producing a wetsuit, we would probably change the way we see ourselves in the surfing equation, and understand that things have to change and that we MUST take action now! Tomorrow’s already too late!!! We can grow together as surfers and as an integral part of this wonderful planet…
Mother nature has had enough! How about you?
