WaveTribe: for Cleaner Waves

by Kyla @ 9:53 am 1 comment »

Outdoor enthusiasts have classically been some of the greatest protectors of the environment, and WaveTribe continues that tradition by uniting surfers with ocean conservation. Founder and rider Derek D ensures that their sustainable surf design uses hemp, recycled plastic, organic cotton, and other innovative materials to make board bags, leashes, and apparel for beach enthusiasts everywhere. Located in Ventura, CA, WaveTribe products are also available online and to businesses at wholesale. I like Derek’s plea for $500K to setup shop here in the US to curb his carbon footprint. Check out the wet gear @ www.wavetribe.com

I bought one of those wave tribe bags, I was really impressed by their quality and super stoked on the vision behind the company. I hope more surf companies follow their lead.
