Eden Project BLUE, Eco Surf and a new hope!
We teamed up with our friends at Sustainable Surf, to help the amazing Eden Project put together its ‘Eden BLUE’ exhibit. Which showcases surfing brands and their products, that are making clear moves to not only limit their impact on the environment, but in fact have a positive influence!
The exhibit launched at the ‘Festival of Hope’ at the Eden projects stunning core building in November. The Eden project is Bastian for the natural world and sustainability; it’s an amazing place to visit with its instantly recognisable Bio-Domes. So it has been a privilege for us here to support the exhibit, but what’s in it and why?

We vote everyday of our life’s through the consumer choices we make (often multiple times a day!) The choice is simple encourage and direct our hard earned money to products or brands that damage the environment, or show our vote and direct money and encouragement to those that are reducing their impact or even having a positive influence on the environment.
We’ve made it easier for you by creating a ‘Sustainably focused’ gear listing, with products recommended by Sustainable Surf here. What world do you want to live in?
