Polyurethane and polyester are of petrochemical origin, with the environmental problems that this entails, not to mention the toxicity that affects the health of the workers who manufacture the boards. And, in the case of Europe, many of these raw materials have to travel thousands of kilometers from the USA, South Africa or Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today 95% of surfboards are made of these materials and if we add to that an exponentially growing market, increasingly shorter product life cycles and an unmanageable waste generated, we find ourselves with a linear trend in which the problems have a greater and greater impact. But the problem is not only in production; the impact of surf tourism on coastlines and the consumption habits of the surfing community are not always aligned with the intrinsic philosophy of the sport; respect for nature.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d3cea0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2d3cea0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf-1024x509.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21838\" alt=\"1000 Surfboard Graveyard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf-1024x509.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf-300x149.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf-768x381.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf-450x224.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf-600x298.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/goodkarmaprojects.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Cementerio-tablas-de-surf.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">1000 Surfboard Graveyard - Chris Anderson's initiative focused on raising awareness of the environmental issues of surfing.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1126a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1126a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of this need for change in the sport, Ride&amp;Respect was born, a project focused on turning the boardsports sector into a benchmark for sustainability and respect for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential that consumers, industry and administration work together to break the paradigm of surfing; we must be able to enjoy nature without harming it.

Graduated in business administration and management and with a master&#8217;s degree in business management from innovation and internationalization, Alejandro has been in the industrial sector of surfing since 2013, manufacturing boards with sustainability as the main objective because, as he says, &#8220;to see, breathe and feel first hand the reality of the surf industry makes you more aware of the challenges that exist and to be part of the change with a project like Ride&amp;Respect is a golden opportunity from which very positive things can come out&#8221; and adds &#8220;Sustainability must be integrated both in our consumption habits and in the vision and values of the industry, but sometimes it is not so simple, economic, social or cultural barriers can hinder the change &#8230;. that is why it is essential that we have this dual focus; socioeconomic and ecological, to be able to propose sustainable solutions not only with regard to the environment, but also on the economic level, facilitating an effective transition that brings added value to the market.
