SUSTAINABLE SURFERS
At Warm Winds, we consider the protection of the natural environment of the utmost importance. As surfers and ocean lovers we rely heavily on a healthy ocean environment to provide us with clean waves to surf and plenty of stoke.
We demonstrate our love for the environment by conserving resources and preventing pollution and waste in our daily business operations. We teach the youth in our surf school program about the importance of protecting the environment, what eco-friendly changes they can make to their daily habits, and why a healthy ocean environment is so important for the future of the sport of surfing.
We support ocean conservancy groups, both local and national.
We get our hands dirty as often as possible at beach clean ups, dune grass plantings, and other events.
Our goal is to continue our efforts to become a leader in sustainable retail within the surf industry.
