Svein spent 15 years on the windsurfing tour, brought home numerous World and European titles and also participated in the LA Olympics. In 1994 he founded Starboard which became the worlds leading windsurfing brand by 2001. In SUP, Starboard naturally evolved as the industry benchmark and sets the standard in innovation and quality by bringing technologies and concepts to the market a few years ahead of the competition. And yes, Svein paddles to work, picks trash wherever he can find it and utilises Starboard's reach as a catalyst for a better tomorrow. Chief innovator

No doubt, as a manufacturer Starboard is a polluter. But we can transform our overall net impact into a positive by working hand-in-hand with our innovative eco-partners. Our goal is to shape ocean-friendly initiatives and discover alternatives. In the 2017 fiscal year our company's carbon footprint was about 3,600 tons. It was mainly caused by our products' raw materials and assembly, the rest came from our team's extensive air travel. However, we planted over 100,000 mangrove trees in the Thor Heyerdahl Climate Park absorbing 100,000,000 kg CO2 over the next 20 years, arguably making our overall...

Thanks to Parley for the Oceans, Trash Hero, Sustainable Surf, SUPKids and Watertrek for being such amazing partners. Merijn Tinga the Plastic Soup Surfer is a trendsetter and most inspiring of all is the work of Isabel and Melati Wijsen’s Bye Bye Plastic Bags. PLASTIC IS A DESIGN FAILURE. EVERY PIECE EVER PRODUCED IS STILL OUT THERE IN SOME FORM, AND A MASSIVE AMOUNT ENTERS THE OCEANS DAILY WE CAN ONLY END MARINE POLLUTION FOR GOOD IF WE REINVENT THE MATERIAL. For every Starboard produced, one mangrove tree is planted in the Thor Heyerdahl Climate Park in Myanmar, each absorbing up to 1 ton...

Melati and Isabel Weijsen have managed to ban the use of plastic bags on Bali. They and their ByeBye Plastic Bag organisation are demonstrating how all of us can be useful and stand up for the oceans. "It's not as complicated as everyone seems to pretend it is." TOOLS TO START CLEANING UP YOUR WATERWAY Polo paddles made from recycled ABS have extra holes on the top and bottom of the ball holder to thread a net for collecting debris in the water when not playing. Use the trash picker as a helpful tool to pick it up. It's made from recycled plastic and comes with every paddle. Store the trash in a...
