Bing Surfboards + Monarch Green Recycling Partnership

As surfers, the ocean is our home, our playground, our source of connection and endless bliss. So it's a strange irony that surfboard production isn't exactly the most environmentally friendly process using polyurethane blanks and chemical resins. But it's addressing these issues and taking advantage of the creative solutions now available that make it such an exciting time to be a part of an ever-evolving industry. |

What makes Monarch Green an innovator in their field is their development of Incredisorb, a powerful 100% recycled sorbent material successfully reviewed by both the E.P.A. and California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife for safe use on any body of water – ocean, streams, lakes, reservoirs as well as on land. It is an extremely lightweight, polyurethane foam material that absorbs oil, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic and transmission fluid and more. Each pound absorbs one gallon and more of oil and other hydrocarbons, and will not sink even when fully saturated with oil and fuel. Monarch Green uses this technology to make products such as mats, drum tops, and spill kits for professional and at-home use and is distributed to an array of businesses such as resorts, airports, gas stations, numerous private industries and all levels and departments of government service. Once used, products can also be reused after oil extraction (with the ability to recycle and even resell the remaining oil) or incinerated safely and cleanly for power generation. |

Elliot Dudley in Costa Rica
This is my 8th visit to Costa Rica, my first being back in 2002. Aged 17 I skipped school for two weeks to go on a surf trip with my old man and a group of longboarders from the UK.
We started in Nosara and worked our way up the coast, spending the last few days at Ollie's point. Back then getting round was much more difficult and the convoluted journey from San Jose took upwards of 7 hours. Now you can fly direct to Liberia from London and be in the ocean within 3 hours of landing.
