Is SHRED more than a surfing term? Yes! It's an Environmental Organization

SHRED stands for Surfers Helping Reduce Environmental

Damage

The SHRED mission is to get surfers to adopt eco-friendly habits in as many of these five areas as possible:

• reducing/eliminating use of plastic; collecting plastic garbage left by others
• using reef safe sunscreens which do not have oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other harmful chemicals
• buying non-toxic, biodegradable surf wax or making their own eco-friendly surf wax
• buying used surfboards, or purchasing eco-friendly, sustainable surfboards if at all possible
• purchasing eco-friendly, sustainable wetsuits if at all possible, or keeping the ones they have longer
