Can surfing ever become sustainable? – BBC News

If you add in the international travel needed to enjoy the best waves, the average surfer’s carbon footprint is said to be 50% greater than the average person’s.

It has also been estimated that more than 8,000 tonnes of neoprene wetsuits end up in landfill every year
