We encourage our team members to act with the environment in mind, hosting trash pickup days and always being mindful of our delicate planet. We have dedicated 1% of our gross sales to supporting water-based initiatives through the Surfrider Foundation and The Nature Conservancy and specifically, initiatives in New Zealand focused on restoring 1,000 square km of shellfish beds to the Hauraki Gulf, a taonga (treasured possession) of national importance to both people and nature in New Zealand and beyond.
