Surfing Green http://www.surfinggreen.com.au Surfing Green is all about sustainability and making an effort. It's about beautiful designs, innovative thinkers and products that are not only functional but run laps around their oil laden counterparts. We don't claim to be saving the world, but we do hope we are making a difference, however big or small that may be. Enjoy the ride and be sure to stop by some time for a chat and a wave or two. Happy surfing!

Yes, you read that correctly! Well, if it’s good enough for a cow it’s good enough for your board we say!!

The project’s mission is to honour the past while creating an opportunity, an inspiration, and a call to action for environmentally conscious alternatives.

They require funding to get this project off the ground – we’re backing them and hope you will too. It’s a much needed film in this industry and if done right could be the motivation the industry needs for change. Part with a fiver or even a tenner and you’d be doing the ocean a huge favour. Mahalo!

Hey Guys,

Back from South Java and just wanted to let you know that the Paipo and hand plane made all the difference.

Big high sitting in the middle of the Indian Ocean blocked the swell we thought we might score so we only got small intermitant waves.

Heaps of locals and a couple of seppos stayng at the same place all had a blast on the Paipo as well!

One of the primary export ports in the region, Port Otago Ltd, is seeking a coastal permit to dispose dredged material offshore, which could have disastrous effects on the breaks.
