Surf champ Lucy Campbell says her sport must be greener
A top UK surfer has slammed her sport for relying on boards and wetsuits mass-produced from petrochemicals that create tonnes of waste every year.
Seven times British women’s champion Lucy Campbell told the BBC the top brands “need to change”.
Despite surfing’s eco-friendly image, it uses plastic boards covered in toxic resins and non-biodegradable wetsuits.
The industry says it is developing new sustainable boards and the world’s first fully recycled wetsuit.
