The Surf Blog Spot

Celebrate Earth Day!  Make Everyday Earth Day!  Go Green!  Go Organic!  Recycle, Reduce, Reuse!  Recycling is Hot!  These are just some of the trendy lines you might hear at your Earth Day celebration.  Today is Earth Day and people in the northern hemisphere will be celebrating awareness and the Earth’s environment.  The history of Earth Day dates back to 1970 and is celebrated every April 22.  I thought a perfect post for this Earth Day would involve an environmentally responsible company that is also dedicated to surf and the Earth. 

I bet most rock climbers and backpackers are familiar with a very popular outdoor gear company from Ventura, CA.  If you are still trying to figure out where Ventura is or the company’s name….that company is Patagonia.  Find out more on Patagonia and their history.   Well, this same climbing inspired company also started a line of surf products.  Patagonia offers an extensive list of gear and accessories for sports like hiking, rock climbing, women’s surfing, men’s surfing, and fly fishing.  If going green is your thing, Patagonia also offers an organic product line.  Search Patagonia for ORGANIC products.

I found some organic boardshorts you might like.  Wear these boardshorts on Earth Day or any other day and you will spread your environmental awareness. Try on the comfortable 100% organic cotton Palaka boardshorts. 

Patagonia Palaka 100% Organic Cotton Boardshorts

These boardshorts are not recommended for a long 4-hour surf session, but recommended more for casual wear or relaxing at the beach.  Patagonia thinks the Palaka boardshorts should be used for around the town, a short surf session, or exploring the Amazon.  The organic cotton is not as durable as the typical nylon boardshorts.  Click here for more details on the Palaka boardshort.
