#Cow-abunga Wave Pool Edition: Humans everywhere have been creating technology for having fun while sliding around on water for thousands of years — but the explosion of wave pool technology in modern surf culture is a brand new #beast 🐄🌊 Which is why we've come to the Surf Park Summit being held today on the beach at @scripps_ocean by @surfparkcentral summit — because we want to raise the flag in this forum 🚩 about the need to keep the climate & environmental impacts low — and the positive benefits for the ocean high 🙌 Swipe left to hear Co-founder Kevin Whilden talking before & during the Sustainability Spotlight panel ( alongside @stokecertified and others ) , about why he thinks all the new surf parks that are currently in the planning stages — need to be thinking about their sustainability plans right now! And which could/should also involve the planting of @sea.trees in the ocean — for every man-made wave ridden in the future. And did we mention that one of our favorite surfboard artists ever @drewbrophy was there too — with a #kelpforest painted on one beautiful looking board 🙌🌱🌊 ~~~ #SurfParkSummit @surfparkcentral : Surfing has always been a traditional sport that focuses on the natural world, so with the growth of human-made waves, what are the key issues that need to be addressed when it comes to sustainability? This panel will look at the technology and steps to take to create a better energy, water and physical footprint while still providing world class waves.
