Svein Rasmussen / Photographer: Georgia Schofield / Location: Myanmar H O W A RE W E L I VIN G ? We just inherited the best planet out there, it even has oceans to play in. We all can live intelligently to pass our galactical home to the next generation in better shape than when we arrived, it’s really not much to ask. The Plastic Disclosure Program helped us to map out our plastic footprint and we further funded a Plastic Offset Program to create a value for plastics found along the coastline in Thailand. The funds comes from an internal plastic tax at Starboard. We sometimes get explained...

L ET’S J U M P I N TO G E T H E R EVERYTHING WE DO AFFECTS THE OTHER INHABITANTS OF OUR PLANET. LET’S PLAY ON THE SAME TEAM. One person can adjust impact. People together can change the world. However we’re going to save this planet, we need to work together. That’s why every member of the Starboard organization – from board builders and designers to team rider – is encouraged to do their part for the environment, whether it’s local trash pick-ups near us in Thailand, tracking their flight miles for our company-wide carbon offset purchase, or planting mangroves at the Thor Heyerdahl Climate...

WHAT IS DEEP BLUE LIVING? MAKING EVERY DECISION FOR THE OCEAN. Kuleana. Hawaiian for “responsibility”. Zane Schweitzer – born on Hawaii – has a Kuleana to the land: to care for it and to respect it. And it returns, the land has a Kuleana to him – to feed him, shelter, and clothe him. Not a bad deal. It’s this thinking that lies at the heart of “Deep Blue Life” – a mental mind-set that helps him navigate his days, his travels, his surfing, and indeed, his life. As a Sustainable Surf ambassador and a walking, talking prophet for Deep Blue Living, Zane spreads this message as he travels the...

Reducing our carbon and plastic footprint for a healthier planet starts with the products we make. Eco innovations emerge from scrutinising all our products, materials, accessories, inserts and packaging in search of high performance with lower impact on the environment. Perhaps the best is to retrieve preused materials and upcycle them to outperform virgin materials. Bailey Rosen and Frida Ongre spent the last year managing Starboards environmental work. They developed a fully certified Carbon Footprint report, the Plastic footprint report through the Plastic disclosure projetc and further...
