Surfing tips

Surfing is a high thrill, and low impact sport.

• Put your surfboard inside your car rather than on the roof as it changes the aerodynamics of your car and increases the amount of petrol you spend.
• Use organic boardwax because conventional boardwax contains petroleum jelly and pollutes the sea. Make your own organic boardwax with beeswax, coconut oil and tree resin (cool water wax only).
• Get a biodegradable surfboard, check out www.oceangreen.org and safershopping.wwf.org.uk, Homeblown eco-surfboard
• Support the Surfers Against Sewage campaign for clean safe recreational waters, free from sewage effluent, toxic chemicals and nuclear waste. Using a solution-based argument of viable alternatives, SAS highlight the inherent flaws in current practises, attitudes and legislation, challenging industry, legislators and politicians to end their 'pump and dump' policies.
