Sustainability in Action: How Shore Surf School is Riding the Green Wave
At Shore Surf School, we believe the ocean gives us everything — joy, freedom, and endless waves. So it only makes sense that we do our bit to protect it. From the wetsuits we wear to the boards we ride, we’re making conscious choices to reduce our environmental impact. Here’s how sustainability shapes everything we do.
🌊 Eco-Friendly Wetsuits with C-Skins Nuwave
We’ve chosen C-Skins Nuwave wetsuits for our lessons and rentals because they’re made from natural, plant-based rubber instead of petroleum-based neoprene. Not only does this drastically reduce CO₂ emissions during production, but it also makes them kinder on your skin and the planet. Comfortable, flexible, warm — and forward-thinking.
🧼 Gentle on Gear, Gentle on Nature: X Care Wetsuit Wash
After a salty session, keeping wetsuits fresh is essential — but many cleaners use harsh chemicals. That’s why we use and stock X Care Wetsuit Wash, a biodegradable, non-toxic formula. It keeps your wetsuit fresh and conditions your wetsuit without harming marine life. Simple, effective, and ocean-safe.
🏄Tradition Meets Sustainability: Dick Pearce Bellyboards
Nothing says British surf heritage quite like a bellyboard — and Dick Pearce’s wooden boards bring that legacy to life with a green twist. Handmade in Cornwall from sustainably sourced plywood, these boards are a plastic-free alternative to bodyboards, which often end up in landfills. They’re retro, they’re rad, and they’re built to last.
🏄 Softech Surfboards: Soft on Learners, Light on Impact
Our Softech surfboards from Softech are perfect for beginner surfers — soft-tops that are safe, durable, and made to be reused season after season. While no board is 100% green (yet), choosing durable gear that lasts is a small but mighty sustainability step. Fewer broken boards, less landfill.
🌍 Small Changes, Big Waves
Sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a commitment. At Shore Surf School, we’re not perfect, but we’re paddling in the right direction. Every choice, from the boards we teach on to the wetsuits we zip up, reflects our respect for the ocean and future generations of wave riders.
