- Greening The Surf Industry
Surfing would seem to be the ultimate environmentally friendly industry, what with its nature-boy image and surfers’ passion for keeping the ocean and beaches clean and green.

I won't go to China to defend my longboard world title this year because of its human rights record: we need a wave of changeSurfing is a fringe sport with roots as a sacred activity of the Queens and Kings of the Hawaiian Islands. Olympic swimming gold medalist, Duke Kahanamoku, is credited with the popularisation of surfing as he travelled the world performing swimming exhibitions. He would paddle his 10ft redwood longboard out to the empty lineups of international beaches in front of curious crowds of onlookers, heave and twist his board toward shore, paddle gracefully into a wave and finally stand, erect and dignified on a virtual aircraft carrier of a surfboard.

The sport has evolved to include surf competitions in the last three decades and a $6bn industry that continues to drive the sport forward. The foremost governing body of surfing, the ASP, and major surfing brands, such as Quiksilver, Billabong and Rip Curl, have made it possible for some surfers to create a career out of this activity. Of the two main branches of surfing – shortboarding and longboarding – longboarders have had the least opportunity to make a career out of surfing, despite being the closer of the two to the original roots of the sport. Female longboarders are even farther removed from this opportunity, as the newest addition to the ASP world tour.With this reality in focus, any opportunity handed down by the powe 私はその人権記録のため、今年私のロングボードに世界タイトルを守るために中国に行くことでしょう：私たちはchangeSurfingの波を必要とする女王の神聖な活動とキングスハワイ諸島のようにルーツを持つ干渉縞のスポーツです
