WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
It’s simple. Just buy well. Or hire a board instead.
When you buy quality body boards from a surf shop or quality retailer you’ll catch more waves. You’ll have a better time. And you’ll be able to use it year after year after year. If you hire a board you’ll get to enjoy a great experience and not even have the hassle of taking it home afterwards.
Spending just £10 on a body board is like tearing up a tenner in the shower. What a waste.
It’s much better to buy wisely and buy once. A good body board will have you ripping up the waves for years!
HOW TO BUY A GOOD BODYBOARD
Talk to your local surf shop. They have boards to last and can give you advice on the best board for you and your kids.
Think about a wooden belly board. They look cool, go faster and will last for many, many summers.
CAN YOU HELP US SPREAD THE WORD?
Throwaway body boards are choking our beaches and we need your help to show the world what a problem it is.
If you see a broken board this summer send us a picture via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Like, share, contribute to our #waveofwaste campaign. It will really help.
We want your pictures! Send them using #waveofwaste to:
