Sustainability / Environmental Commitment

Despite the intimate connection surfing has with the environment, the ironic truth is that our passion is often not environmentally friendly, with heavy reliance on fossil fuels for surf travel and for the production of much of the necessary equipment.

Blue Coast Surf & Paddle is committed to minimising the impact of our activities on the environment, and to actively contributing to action and attitudes that promote environmental sustainability and protection. It is important to us to be transparent and ethical in our actions and to consider the environment and our impact on it at all times.

Steps we have taken:

  • We have chosen to use high-quality equipment and environmentally friendly products where possible. A key consideration has been equipment durability and extending product life, and we plan to further extend its useable life by offering all equipment for second-hand sale.
  • Our business model produces little waste, but where it does we recycle or reuse waste materials wherever possible.
  • Our staff carry out daily beach cleans as part our routine condition checks. We are proud of our location in Cullen and its beautiful beach, and as a regular user of the beach we want to keep it beautiful. We encourage our participants to take part in small beach cleans at the end of our lessons and tours, inspired by the Take 3 For The Sea movement. We aim to leave the locations we use and visit better than when we found them.
  • We take responsibility for our actions and the actions of our participants when we encounter wildlife during lessons and tours, keeping a safe distance and allowing wildlife to approach us only if it chooses to.

We recognise that there is more to be done, and we will actively review and improve our environmental practices as the business grows. Suggestions and ideas are very welcome, please feel free to contact us.

At ease.

Frictionless.

No paddle no surf.
Beyond the beach.
Everything else falls away.
