on a lorry to a distribution point, it's then gone on a van to a shop, and it has been used in the sea for a matter of hours before it snapped and ended up as waste. it's really disheartening to see this amount of waste come forward. if it wasn't for us collecting them, they would go to landfill, or they would go to incineration. instead, they'll be turned into packaging and insulation. other ways are being found to fight this type of waste. resorts across the uk are banning their sale. and new borrow board schemes are being set up that hire out longer lasting ones, like here at bude sea pool. thank you for helping keep the environment free from cheap, snappy body boards. great idea. hiring is the way to go! yeah, definitely. but what if you want to ride waves standing up? is it even possible to buy a board that doesn't cost the earth?
