we are all human, and nobody is perfect. the bike I ride is somewhat toxic, but its better than driving everywhere. like I said earlier the meat, dairy, and fishing industries are the worlds biggest polluters. this is a fact. more polluting than all commercial and private forms of motorized travel combined. compared to surfing, surfing is hardly a blip. am I happy that what I do is toxic? no. have I cut down on the number of boards and wetsuits I purchase? yes. have I been experimenting with new technologies that promote longer board and wetsuit life and less toxicity? yes. I am conscious of my choices and actions, and try my best to reduce my footprint. no more to go coffees. haven't bought a bottle of water in 3 years. I don't contribute to the largest polluting industry on the planet. I try to grow as much of my own food as possible. I throw nothing that is compostable in the trash. I try to buy local as much as possible. I don't purchase crap I don't need or stuff that is of a designed obsolescence. I can go on, but since your getting on me for partaking in a toxic activity i'd like to ask you, "what you do?"

Don't forget recycling. The recycling industry creates more toxic by-products and pollution than it saves.

Not much. But I didn't call someone a hypocrite for eating meat when they don't NEED to. When you are the hypocrite. You do a bunch of great stuff, but still purchase toxic materials. You don't NEED to buy surfboards and wetsuits. You choose to because they make you happy.
