The surf paradox
Apartments by the sea, traveling thousands of kilometers by plane in search of the perfect wave, liters and liters of gasoline consumed in search of the best spot for our daily bath, boards and new wetsuits every couple of years …
Everything to enjoy an intimate relationship with nature while we glide aided by the power of the ocean and gravity with products made of materials derived from petroleum, toxic and hardly recyclable …
Are we coherent? To what extent do the surfers preach with the example? Have you everconsidered this?
We believe it is essential that consumers, industry and administration work hand in hand to break with the paradigm boardsports; We must be able to enjoy nature without harming it.
We are committed to cooperation as a philosophy to turn the surf industry into the European benchmark in sustainability through open knowledge and innovation.
Good Karma Projects, through Ride & Respect, seeks to be that uniting agent between the parties, facilitating and promoting these values.

Industry
Be part of the change
Sustainability must be integrated into the vision and values of the industry, but sometimes it is not so simple due to economic, technical or socio-cultural barriers that can hinder change.
