Beach clean-ups play a crucial role in preserving our delicate ecosystems and safeguarding the health of our oceans. In this article, we explore three compelling reasons why beach clean-ups are essential for environmental conservations.

1.  Protecting Marine Biodiversity 

One of the primary benefits of beach clean-ups is the protection of marine biodiversity. Coastal areas serve as crucial habitats for a diverse array of species, from birds and crustaceans to various fish species. Unfortunately, plastic waste and other debris often find their way into these ecosystems, posing a severe threat to marine life.

By participating in beach clean-ups, volunteers contribute directly to the preservation of these habitats. Removing plastics, fishing nets, and other pollutants helps prevent entanglement and ingestion by marine organisms. This, in turn, supports the health and stability of the marine food web. Furthermore ensuring the well-being of countless species that rely on coastal environments.

2. Reduce Ocean Pollution.

Beaches serve as the frontline in the battle against ocean pollution, as they are often the recipients of vast amounts of debris carried by tides and currents. Plastic waste, in particular, has become a pervasive issue. Millions of tons entering the ocean annually. Beach clean-ups play a vital role in preventing this pollution from spreading further and causing irreparable harm to marine ecosystems.

As volunteers remove trash from beaches, they prevent these pollutants from breaking down into harmful microplastics, which can have lasting consequences on marine life and even find their way into the human food chain. By mitigating ocean pollution at its source, beach clean-ups contribute significantly to the overall health and resilience of our oceans.

3. Rasing Awereness

Engaging in beach clean-ups not only addresses the immediate issue of litter but also fosters a sense of environmental responsibility. These initiatives serve as educational platforms, raising awareness about the impact of human activities on the environment and promoting sustainable practices.

Through organized clean-up events, participants gain firsthand experience of the consequences of pollution and the importance of waste reduction. This increased awareness often translates into long-term behavioral changes, encouraging individuals to adopt eco-friendly habits, reduce single-use plastics, and support policies aimed at environmental conservation. In this way, beach clean-ups become catalysts for broader societal shifts towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

Prevantion is one of the best way to reduce the ever growing ocean pollution. Before you leave the beach always make sure that you do not leave anything behind. Tell people off to pick their garbage or show good example by you picking up garbage from the beach.

Beach clean-ups stand as powerful tools in the fight against marine pollution. As individuals and communities continue to recognize the importance of these initiatives, the collective impact of beach clean-ups becomes a force for positive change. Luckily more and more oganizations launch bleach clean ups around the globe. Be part of the change and join or even organize one of them!

There are fun waves and there are waves that we can only adore and watch how other daredevil surfers risk their life. These following 4 waves are definitely the category which you can call deadly. Do not try at home!

1. Nazaré-Portugal

If you turn your face toward the saltwater from the local lighthouse, you can easily spot the famous waves that have transformed the quiet village into a world-renowned big wave surfing arena.The Nazaré Canyon is the largest underwater canyon in Europe and one of the largest in the world. A few miles off the coast of Nazaré, there are drastic differences in depth between the continental shelf and the canyon.

When swell heads to shore, it is quickly amplified where the two geomorphologic variables meet, causing the formation of big waves.

Furthermore, water current is channeled along the shore – from North to South – in the direction of the incoming waves, additionally contributing to wave height.

Nazaré holds the Guinness World Records for the largest wave ever surfed by Sebastian Steudtner. 

2. Pipeline – Hawaii

When it comes to surfing the best, the Banzai Pipeline is the ultimate destination for many surfers. This wave only allows the best of the best, which are usually those who have significant respect for the water. The reasoning for this? Banzai Pipe is also the most dangerous set of waves in the world. Banzai has a unique advantage in that its break waves happen over a reef. It happens in Oahu on the north shore and the reef that follows the shoreline is extremely dangerous – it’s full of sharp and jagged edges that run along shallow water. The cave-like nature of this reef is what gives Banzai pipe its unique shape, the “pipe” shape that so many surfers travel there for.

3.Teahupo’o – Tahiti

Teahupoo is a fierce barrel that has a lip that is often as thick as the wave face itself.

An extremely shallow coral reef, which ranges up to 20 inches (51 cm) beneath the water’s surface, is responsible for a very hollow-breaking wave. The wave’s unique shape, with an effect of almost breaking below sea level, is due to the specific shape of the reef beneath the wave. 

Originally Teahupoo was known as “The End of the Road”, as the channel that begins a surfer’s 15mins paddle out to the wave starts at the end of the town’s road.  However, Teahupoo now derives its name from a local legend of how the town’s prince avenged his father’s death by eating the brains of his father’s murder at the town, known as “The Place of the Broken Skull”.   Ironically the local legend lends its meaning well to the heavy wave.  

4.Maverick’s – California

Mavericks is a dangerous wave that breaks off Pillar Point, in Half Moon Bay, at Princeton-by-the-Sea, in Northern California, just 20 miles south of San Francisco.

It’s a fast and furious right-hand wave that, on epic days, produces a rare left-hander.

But Mavs is also a shark-infested – and often foggy – cold water spot that will put any advanced surfer’s skills to the test.

When it’s on, Mavericks instills high doses of anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, and cold into the veins of those who dare to defy it.

Mavericks, or Maverick’s, has a reputation for being one of the deadliest waves on Earth, where daredevils are willing to risk their bodies for the drop of their lives.

 

Always make sure that you pick the right spot according to your surf level. Surfing regular sized waves and big waves are basically two different categories. At the end everybody needs to start somewhere, do not hesitate to look up our surf lessons!

Most of the people meet foamies in their life when they start their  surfing journey. But for what reason beginners use foamies and shall we quit using them after a while? In this article we are going to talk about foamies and their advantages. 

The first date

If you only have  seen surfboards in movies then you finally make your mind up to join a class, probably get shocked and have that WTF moment when you see those huge foamies. 

In fact, the extra width and thickness of these boards give you that extra stability which is what you want when trying to  learn or later on master your pop-up on the waves.

With no major risk of hurting yourself, a foam surfboard drops the mental barrier, fear, stress and anxiety are much less with one less thing to worry about. These are great boards and everything is designed for a beginner to make things easy. 

Practicing turns as an intermediate

You will want a foundation of good technique  and not to commit out of sync movements that send mixed signals to your board.

The technique is the same as normal or as you would do on your other boards, the change comes in working with the board and how it turns slower.

Most average surfers don’t hold their turns, they don’t look at where they want to go or flow with the movement. Everything is typically sudden and not much happens.

This will help break those bad habits and force you to work with the board and learn to hold a turn and keep holding the turn until you get to where you want to go.

Shall I quit foamies once I become a cool shortboarder?

Nope! Soft-top surfboards are great and you’ll find a mix of them out there. 

The hidden benefit of a soft top surfboard is usually surfers have no expectations of the board or surf before they paddle out.

This is huge in ensuring you have a fun surf.  It hasn’t been set up where fun is distinguished by doing a certain turn or anything like that. Most surfers just paddle out and forget the rest, focusing on having fun. The master of foamy surfing is Jamie O’brien who makes incredible maneuvers and barrel rides with his “toys”. 

There are loads of fan foamies on the market even for advanced surfers to make your sessions rather fun than serious.

Engaging in beach clean-ups not only addresses the immediate issue of litter but also fosters a sense of environmental responsibility. These initiatives serve as educational platforms, raising awareness about the impact of human activities on the environment and promoting sustainable practices.

Through organized clean-up events, participants gain firsthand experience of the consequences of pollution and the importance of waste reduction. This increased awareness often translates into long-term behavioral changes, encouraging individuals to adopt eco-friendly habits, reduce single-use plastics, and support policies aimed at environmental conservation. In this way, beach clean-ups become catalysts for broader societal shifts towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

Prevantion is one of the best way to reduce the ever growing ocean pollution. Before you leave the beach always make sure that you do not leave anything behind. Tell people off to pick their garbage or show good example by you picking up garbage from the beach.

Beach clean-ups stand as powerful tools in the fight against marine pollution. As individuals and communities continue to recognize the importance of these initiatives, the collective impact of beach clean-ups becomes a force for positive change. Luckily more and more oganizations launch bleach clean ups around the globe. Be part of the change and join or even organize one of them!

There are fun waves and there are waves that we can only adore and watch how other daredevil surfers risk their life. These following 4 waves are definitely the category which you can call deadly. Do not try at home!

1. Nazaré-Portugal

If you turn your face toward the saltwater from the local lighthouse, you can easily spot the famous waves that have transformed the quiet village into a world-renowned big wave surfing arena.The Nazaré Canyon is the largest underwater canyon in Europe and one of the largest in the world. A few miles off the coast of Nazaré, there are drastic differences in depth between the continental shelf and the canyon.

When swell heads to shore, it is quickly amplified where the two geomorphologic variables meet, causing the formation of big waves.

Furthermore, water current is channeled along the shore – from North to South – in the direction of the incoming waves, additionally contributing to wave height.

Nazaré holds the Guinness World Records for the largest wave ever surfed by Sebastian Steudtner. 

2. Pipeline – Hawaii

When it comes to surfing the best, the Banzai Pipeline is the ultimate destination for many surfers. This wave only allows the best of the best, which are usually those who have significant respect for the water. The reasoning for this? Banzai Pipe is also the most dangerous set of waves in the world. Banzai has a unique advantage in that its break waves happen over a reef. It happens in Oahu on the north shore and the reef that follows the shoreline is extremely dangerous – it’s full of sharp and jagged edges that run along shallow water. The cave-like nature of this reef is what gives Banzai pipe its unique shape, the “pipe” shape that so many surfers travel there for.

3.Teahupo’o – Tahiti

Teahupoo is a fierce barrel that has a lip that is often as thick as the wave face itself.

An extremely shallow coral reef, which ranges up to 20 inches (51 cm) beneath the water’s surface, is responsible for a very hollow-breaking wave. The wave’s unique shape, with an effect of almost breaking below sea level, is due to the specific shape of the reef beneath the wave. 

Originally Teahupoo was known as “The End of the Road”, as the channel that begins a surfer’s 15mins paddle out to the wave starts at the end of the town’s road.  However, Teahupoo now derives its name from a local legend of how the town’s prince avenged his father’s death by eating the brains of his father’s murder at the town, known as “The Place of the Broken Skull”.   Ironically the local legend lends its meaning well to the heavy wave.  

4.Maverick’s – California

Mavericks is a dangerous wave that breaks off Pillar Point, in Half Moon Bay, at Princeton-by-the-Sea, in Northern California, just 20 miles south of San Francisco.

It’s a fast and furious right-hand wave that, on epic days, produces a rare left-hander.

But Mavs is also a shark-infested – and often foggy – cold water spot that will put any advanced surfer’s skills to the test.

When it’s on, Mavericks instills high doses of anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, and cold into the veins of those who dare to defy it.

Mavericks, or Maverick’s, has a reputation for being one of the deadliest waves on Earth, where daredevils are willing to risk their bodies for the drop of their lives.

 

Always make sure that you pick the right spot according to your surf level. Surfing regular sized waves and big waves are basically two different categories. At the end everybody needs to start somewhere, do not hesitate to look up our surf lessons!

Most of the people meet foamies in their life when they start their  surfing journey. But for what reason beginners use foamies and shall we quit using them after a while? In this article we are going to talk about foamies and their advantages. 

The first date

If you only have  seen surfboards in movies then you finally make your mind up to join a class, probably get shocked and have that WTF moment when you see those huge foamies. 

In fact, the extra width and thickness of these boards give you that extra stability which is what you want when trying to  learn or later on master your pop-up on the waves.

With no major risk of hurting yourself, a foam surfboard drops the mental barrier, fear, stress and anxiety are much less with one less thing to worry about. These are great boards and everything is designed for a beginner to make things easy. 

Practicing turns as an intermediate

You will want a foundation of good technique  and not to commit out of sync movements that send mixed signals to your board.

The technique is the same as normal or as you would do on your other boards, the change comes in working with the board and how it turns slower.

Most average surfers don’t hold their turns, they don’t look at where they want to go or flow with the movement. Everything is typically sudden and not much happens.

This will help break those bad habits and force you to work with the board and learn to hold a turn and keep holding the turn until you get to where you want to go.

Shall I quit foamies once I become a cool shortboarder?

Nope! Soft-top surfboards are great and you’ll find a mix of them out there. 

The hidden benefit of a soft top surfboard is usually surfers have no expectations of the board or surf before they paddle out.

This is huge in ensuring you have a fun surf.  It hasn’t been set up where fun is distinguished by doing a certain turn or anything like that. Most surfers just paddle out and forget the rest, focusing on having fun. The master of foamy surfing is Jamie O’brien who makes incredible maneuvers and barrel rides with his “toys”. 

There are loads of fan foamies on the market even for advanced surfers to make your sessions rather fun than serious.
