Surfing is all about enjoying the ocean and having a great time, and choosing eco-friendly gear lets you do both. With a wide range of sustainable surf products available today, you can enjoy top performance without compromising on style.
At Living in Sunshine, we’ve made it easy to find sustainable options that let you enjoy surfing while protecting the planet. Whether it’s keeping your boards organized or making sure your wax stays intact, we’ve got your surf life covered with gear that’s as eco-conscious as it is functional.
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Surf Products?
Surfing and nature go hand in hand. But here’s the catch: a lot of traditional surf gear, from boards to accessories, is made from materials that aren’t exactly ocean-friendly. Think plastic, foam, and petroleum-based waxes that don’t do the planet any favors. The good news? There are rad, eco-friendly options out there that let you shred while still keeping things green.
By swapping to gear made from recycled materials or sustainable alternatives, you’re not just catching waves—you’re cutting down your environmental footprint too.
The Spirit Rack: Sustainable Storage for Your Surfboards
One of the most essential surf accessories is a solid, reliable surfboard rack. Not only does it keep your boards organized, but it also ensures they’re stored safely when not in use. The Spirit Rack from Living in Sunshine is a freestanding, eco-friendly option that caters to surfers who prioritize sustainability.
Made from 100% sustainable materials such as bamboo and cork, the Spirit Rack is designed for convenience and environmental responsibility. Available in 3-board or 4-board models, it’s perfect for storing surfboards, kiteboards, or longboards, offering a secure and stylish storage solution. The patented design makes assembly a breeze—no tools or screws required.
Plus, the Spirit Rack comes with a sliding drawer for your surf accessories and hanging hooks for fins or wetsuits, making it convenient and functional. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it’s also designed to last, making it a great addition to any surfer’s gear.
The Wax Box: Eco-Friendly Surf Wax Storage
Wax is an essential part of any surfer’s gear, but traditional wax boxes are often made from non-biodegradable plastic that harms the environment. Enter the LISS Wax Box—an eco-friendly solution that keeps your wax safe and mess-free. Crafted from sustainable materials, this compact box prevents wax from melting and getting gooey, thanks to its innovative insulation layer.
From tropical waters to colder climates, the Wax Box is designed to store all types of wax. It also comes with a built-in wax comb and remover, making it a convenient, all-in-one storage solution. Say goodbye to melted wax and messy bags—the Wax Box ensures that your surf session is always smooth, and your gear stays organized.
Storing your wax in an eco-friendly box not only extends its lifespan but also reduces your reliance on harmful plastic products. Plus, it fits perfectly into the Spirit Rack’s built-in drawer, giving you convenient storage for all your gear.
The Sun Rack: Wall-Mounted Eco-Friendly Surf Storage
If floor space is limited, consider opting for a wall-mounted solution like the Sun Rack. This eco-friendly rack is made from sustainable materials, such as bamboo and cork, and comes in both 3-board and 4-board models. Designed for both functionality and aesthetic appeal, the Sun Rack fits longboards up to 10 feet and can support up to 60 pounds per level.
It also features a glide-down drawer for surf accessories, hanging hooks, and even a fins holder. Its easy-to-assemble design features interlocking pieces, allowing for a quick and straightforward setup. Plus, it keeps your boards organized and safe from damage, whether you’re storing them in a garage or in your house.
The Future of Sustainable Surf
Sustainability in the surf industry is becoming more than just a trend; it’s a movement. From the materials used in production to the packaging, every detail matters. Products like the Spirit Rack and Sun Rack showcase how sustainable materials can be transformed into durable, practical products that meet surfers' needs.
By choosing surf products made from sustainable materials, you’re investing in long-lasting gear and supporting a shift away from harmful, resource-intensive manufacturing processes.
Making Your Surf Routine More Eco-Friendly
Using eco-friendly surf products is more than just picking sustainable gear. It also includes how you take care of your equipment, get to the beach, and manage repairs. Starting with sustainable materials for your accessories is a great choice. You can also carpool with friends, reduce single-use plastics in your beach bag, and fix your gear instead of buying new. Every small step helps create a more sustainable surfing lifestyle.
