Wave Changer aims to inspire surfers and those working in the surfing industry to embrace greener and more socially-inclusive ways. Leveraging from experts in surfing, activism, academia, environmental science, tech and community.
It all started with an academic research thesis on the subject of Surfing and Sustainability that was completed in 2018. This research highlighted that the surfing world can do much better with it's environmental and social impact; from it's pinnacle as a competitive sport, all the way down to it's prominence as a fun weekend activity at the beach. We've given talks, facilitated workshops, mentored students and provided research and written content. There's more in the pipeline and we're excited to be forging partnerships with key players in the surfing world to safeguard our natural environment and ensure surfing is something everyone can enjoy.
We're dedicated to the continual research and support of innovative equipment, accessories and packaging for the surfing industry. To do this, we aim to challenge existing norms and fast-track a new era of responsible materials and processes.
We're also committed to an ongoing analysis of consumer behaviours (consumers = surfers) and the product life cycle of surf equipment, i.e. we think stuff should be designed and manufactured with thoughtful consideration to it's end-of-life.
