Leading the surf community to embrace sustainable solutions and reduce the environmental impact of surfing.
About us
Our mission, via research and projects, is to enable the surf community to embrace sustainable solutions and reduce the environmental impact of surfing. Dedicated to creating a carbon neutral, waste-free surf industry that's respectful to nature, yet retains the innovation, high performance and excitement we all expect from surfing. It all started with an academic research thesis on the subject of Surfing and Sustainability that was completed in 2018. This research highlighted that the surfing world can do much better with it's environmental and social impact; from it's pinnacle as a competitive sport, all the way down to it's prominence as a fun activity at the beach. We've given talks, facilitated workshops, mentored students and provided research and written content. There's more in the pipeline and we're excited to be forging partnerships with key players in the surfing world to safeguard our natural environment and ensure surfing is something everyone can enjoy. Game Changer "an event, idea, or procedure that effects a significant shift in the current way of doing or thinking about something"

Over 100 tradies were brought together at URBNSURF on Thursday around their shared love of surfing for our first ever Trade Up Cup event. The Trade Up is our effort as an environmental advocacy group to bring in new friends from outside of the 'eco-bubble' by providing education and experiences for tradies that helps them start the journey towards helping build the future we want. The Trade Up Cup would not have been possible without the support of a few paradigm-breaking donors, the surf tradies who dropped tools for the day to get involved, the Surfers for Climate team hustling like crazy, and this list of legendary sponsors and partners who took a punt on a surf event for tradies that connected the dots between what surfers love (waves) and the sustainable building opportunities that are with us right now: VOLCOM CSR Limited Bonsoy Young Henrys Colormaker Industries Buckaroo Leatherworks Pty Ltd SafeStyle Pty Ltd Airgarden YETI SLURRYTUB Tracks Magazine With Trade Up Cup V.1 done. Get in touch with us about supporting V.2 due next year. Production by Adrian Emerton

🔥 New big wave surfboards for Clément ROSEYRO 🔥 All these very specific heavy #towin boards (between 5 and 9kg) have been shaped by Benoit Rameix and artworks executed by luc rolland. This moment was quite impressive for us : it was the ultimate check before Clément ROSEYRO leaves for surfing #Nazare 🇵🇹 giant waves 🌊 (15 meters high and above). What makes these boards unique, is that they are the only #ecoboards on the competition ! What should be of interest for Sustainable Surf and Wavechanger 🤙 Our mastering of eco building techniques (since 2009) make us confident to use alternative materials such as: • #flax 🌱 from Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp, • cores made from #agave stems, • Sicomin 56% biosourced epoxy system, • as well as Airbus ✈️ upcycled carbon fabrics. We choose each material very carefully for its own mechanical properties (strength, vibrations damping etc.), in order to build both performing and extremely reliable boards… … because such critical surfing conditions deserve only the very best and safest boards possible! 🌊🌊🌊.

Chris Hemsworth, the Australian actor best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Entertainment Cinematic Universe, is not only a global film star but also a passionate surfer. 😀🤙 Born in Melbourne and raised on Phillip Island, Hemsworth developed a deep connection to surfing early in life. Now living in Byron Bay, he describes surfing as a grounding and meditative experience that provides him with a sense of renewal and focus, helping him navigate both personal and professional challenges. 💪❤️⚡️ 📸 Ed Sloane / URBNSurf 🙏 #chrishemsworth #Thor #Marvel #MarvelCinematicUniverse #MCU #Avengers #superhero #ByronBay #madmax #furiosa #madmaxfuriosa #urbnsurf #quotes #famousquotes #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #motivation #surfingquotes #surferquotes #environmentalquotes #wisdom #wordsofwisdom #planetearth #climate #climatechange #ecofriendly #conservation #climateaction #surfersforclimate

Made from wood and algae by the award winning PARADOXAL SURFBOARDS, this could be a game changer in terms of disrupting what we know and what we think’s possible. The level of innovation and experimentation coming out of France in the past decade is insanely positive. 🇫🇷🚀❤️ According to various figures, Australia, the USA, and Brazil are the top 3 countries with the most people actively surfing. While mainstream media might suggest the USA or Australia lead in surf innovation, they could benefit from observing French surf brands, who are quietly going about their business by disrupting/transforming the industry with a unique and thoughtful approach. Bravo pour votre travail, continuez sur cette lancée! 👏👏👏 Paradoxalsurfboards.com/en #paradoxalsurfboards #france #frenchdesign #quimper #quimperquiver #surfingfrance #surf #surfing #surfers #surfboard #surfresearch #surfscience #sustainablesurfing #sustainsurf #ecoboards #ecoboardproject #sustainability #wsloneocean #ecofriendly #planetearth #oceans #circulareconomy #zerowaste #climateeducation #surfersforclimate #wavechanger
