A while ago we sent out a peeler re-knit beanie to Yerko in the Netherlands.

Yerko, got in touch with not only a nice compliment about our re-knit beanies but a really interesting note about a surfboard he’s made (pictured above).

“The hat is great, thanks again. Here are some pictures of me and the hat. In the pictures is a hollow wooden surfboard I made myself, I also used cork on the rails and because of that found it a nice touch to use a cork deckgrip as well.”

What a great idea, cork’s a sustainable wood and super planet friendly! Brill!

Volumes of marine litter are dramatically increasing year after year. Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) has successful marine litter campaigns targeting manufacturers, mobilising large-scale grass roots direct action and increasing public awareness on this ever-worsening problem.

However, with each new high tide comes a new marine litter line impacting on our beloved beaches and surf spots.

Current anti-litter legislation such as The Environmental Protection Act 1990, MARPOL and the Port Waste Reception Facilities regulations are not providing the levels of protection needed for the coastline.

We urge you to implement a National Marine Litter Strategy to combat this worsening issue and help protect our coastlines.
