Ours is a ‘natural’ sport, ‘close to nature’ and somehow seen as ‘pure’. In many ways this is true, but in reality much of what we ‘need’ in order to have fulfilled surfing lives is extremely damaging to the planet. The Green Wave Awards are an attempt to encourage change in the surfing world by putting a positive focus on people, institutions and companies that are actively working to make surfing a more sustainable, environmentally conscious pursuit. 2008-05-06T13:53:00+00:00 http://www.surferspath.com/green-is-good/the-surfers-path-green-wave-awards http://www.surferspath.com/green-is-good/green-wave-award-nominations-2007 Announcing the nominees for the 2007/8 Green Wave Awards.

The boards we ride are toxic at every level of the production process, rendered as they are from oil-based products. Eco-friendly surfboards are few and far between, and often just a choice of the “lesser of evils”. 2007-02-15T15:40:00+00:00 http://www.surferspath.com/green-is-good/green-boards-the-continuum-continuing http://www.surferspath.com/green-is-good/the-1st-annual-surfers-path-green-wave-awards Sustainability is the name of the game. If it ain’t sustainable, it ain’t viable. That goes for global economic paradigms, and it goes for agricultural practices in our local farmlands. It goes for sustainable relationships in our communities and between employers and workers, and even between nations. And sustainability is the name of the game for surfing, too. 2006-09-01T13:51:00+00:00 http://www.surferspath.com/green-is-good/the-1st-annual-surfers-path-green-wave-awards
