Will you ride with us?

let's change the world
reduce plastic waste
Ride the plastic wave!
We built a wave. Made of 6,000 single-use plastic bottles; the amount we throw away in the US every four seconds. Want to do something about this? Come ride it! We’ll capture your surf moves for you to share. And in a new sustainable life short film, you’re the star!
What happens to single-use plastic bottles?
Good question. Of every 6,000-bottle-wave we throw away every four seconds, less than 20% is recycled. The rest goes to landfill and directly in our oceans where it forms an everlasting plastic soup. A soup that kills sea life all over the world.
Ride the plastic wave!
While showing off your extreme surf moves on our huge recycled plastic wave you strengthen the movement to ensure a cleaner future for our oceans. It’s fun, it’s meaningful and it will change the world. We’ll capture your surf moves for you to share. And in our new sustainable life short film, you’re the star!
Share the fun, bring your friends
Bring your best friend, your little brother, your grandmother and your boss! Share your plastic wave invitation which you'll find on the special Facebook Event page. Everyone can send out their S.O.S. while riding the plastic wave.

Also, the photo’s will be used (if you agree) in our sustainable life short film. You’ll become a star. Ok, maybe not Oscar proof, but at least you’ll make a real difference.
