Surfstainability
It's been a very surreal few days in Wave HQ. Monday saw the launch of our Crowdfunder campaign that topped £25k in just over an hour. All the funds are going to deliver our environmental and social objectives for our project.
We have had great news pick up from it too:

I have no idea how this month will end up, we set a £150k target but the more we raise, the better we can be. Better socially, financially and environmentally.
These inland surf parks could change the future of surfing, what we want to do is make sure they maximise the benefits and minimise any negative impact. It would not just be ironic, it would be moronic if we made surfing waves but at the detriment of real waves and the coastal environment.
It would be great if people get behind us on this, a vote of confidence that doing the right thing, is a popular approach.
Surfstainability.
Let's make this happen.
