This site is about sharing and spreading a simple idea:
After you finish your surfing session just pick up any trash you find on the beach and carry it to the nearest trash bean.
Two-time world champion Mick Fanning leads by example by helping cleaning a local beach after his surfing session.
It's easy and it has the potential to make a big impact. Don't underestimate the power of small gestures. Imagine if every surfer does it.
Plastic comprises 60-80% of all marine debris. When plastic gets into the oceans, animals can easily mistaken that plastic for food. If ingested, plastic may prevent the animal from eating, thus, cause it to slowly starve itself to death.
No surfer likes to paddle out in an ocean of debris. The ocean belongs to everybody and therefore it also belongs to you. Keeping it clean improves your life.
We have a duty to maintain our planet. By ruining it we are limiting the success of future generations.
Animals, can be entangled in plastic debris which will kill them. By preventing the plastic to enter the ocean you will potentially save many animals.
By helping cleaning the beach you are contributing to a better world. Other surfers will see it and will join in.
