Eco-friendly surfing equipment

The sport of surfing grows and so does its environmental impact. Today the surfing equipment can have a negative ecological footprint because it is made of non-biodegradable materials (synthetic resin surfboards, neoprene wetsuits, petroleum-based surf wax, etc.) 

Some surf equipment manufacturers are focusing on an ecological vision of the sport and offer green alternatives.
