decade, but this is my first day on the water for over three years. new year's day 2020 and the sin of my board went into my face. i was left with 16 stitches and it has taken me this long to start trying to get over my fear. today i have come to the calmer waters of an inland surfing lake near bristol to try and start getting back my love of surfing. as a journalist covering the environment, time away has made me question a lot about the sport, including its impact on the planet. so some hairy moments, a lot of surfboards flying around and i was initially quite worried but i'm going to get back into surfing, get back on my board and i will be better this time, try and be sustainable and green and see what i can find out. because all of this is a world away from surfing cosmic origins. —— surfing's origins.

riding waves was once a sacred crack this. in ancient hawaii it was a way for man and women to praise the ocean gods. surfing struggled through colonisation, but by the 1920s the so—called king of surfing was spreading his love of the surf abroad. even the future king edward tried it out on a visit to hawaii. it took off around the world, including here in the uk. in the 1950s the wooden boards of the hawaiians gave way to modern materials. hawaiians gave way to modern materials-— materials. blocks of stiff polyurethane _ materials. blocks of stiff polyurethane phone, - materials. blocks of stiff| polyurethane phone, and materials. blocks of stiff - polyurethane phone, and over a lavrov —— layer of fibreglass there must be several coats of resin. ,, , ., ~ , ., there must be several coats of resin. ,, , ., ., _ resin. surfers now kept warm by suits of neoprene. _ resin. surfers now kept warm by suits of neoprene. and - resin. surfers now kept warm by suits of neoprene. and what - resin. surfers now kept warm byi suits of neoprene. and what was a source of most of these new products? oil. an industry producing greenhouse gases, toxic emissions and waste products that take years to break down. and today, just look at how many people are

riding the waves. 35 million and rising. so what can i do to be a greener surfer when i do finally get back up on those waves? i have come to fitzroy beach near newquay to meet an expert who should be able to set me on the right course. doctor! nice to meet you. dr greg bourne is a keen surfer and has been studying the environmental impact of the sport for more than a decade. i am getting back into surfing and i am trying to do it more sustainably. what do i need to think of most?— sustainably. what do i need to think of most? where you travel to surf. think of most? where you travel to surf- how— think of most? where you travel to surf. how you _ think of most? where you travel to surf. how you get _ think of most? where you travel to surf. how you get there. - to surf. how you get there. what wetsuit you use. is your board a mass produced internationally shipped product? surfing has an enormous environmental impact. so we have to think very carefully about the choices we make when we decide to go

surfing andjump in make when we decide to go surfing and jump in the sea. this isa surfing and jump in the sea. this is a lifestyle industry as much as a sport. one based around the latest fashion, luxury goods, and travel. a surfer�*s carbon footprint can be around 50% bigger than the average person.— average person. let's go to hawaii, let's _ average person. let's go to hawaii, let's go _ average person. let's go to hawaii, let's go to - average person. let's go to hawaii, let's go to the - hawaii, let's go to the maldives, let's go and find that perfect wave, surfing sells everything from clothing to right now, watches with some of the most prominent surfers in the world modelling them. everyone wants to be part of that surfing culture, wants to be part of that dream that has been sold by the corporations. that is a dream some top surfers are living for real. this is lucy campbell, a uk champion surfer, she is preparing for next year's olympic games. she has to travel the world for competition and training.

i work with, i try to make sure they are brands that have tried to be more sustainable and supporting data. it is often hard to turn down a big pay check! laughs . if there is a brand that isn't sustainable but it is more worthwhile. you have done that? really, 100%. from a company you feel hasn't fulfilled your... company you feel hasn't fulfilled your. . .i company you feel hasn't fulfilled your... yeah, fast fashion or i fulfilled your... yeah, fast fashion or things i fulfilled your... yeah, fast fashion or things that i fulfilled your... yeah, fast | fashion or things that don't align with what i believe in, really. there is definitely examples of how those brands can be more sustainable and how they can have less impact on they can have less impact on the environment, and i think they need to take that owners and make that difference. because one of her true passions is to inspire the next generation. passions is to inspire the next generation-— generation. you do want to encourage _ generation. you do want to encourage people i generation. you do want to encourage people to i generation. you do want to encourage people to get i encourage people to get outdoors but at the same time, at what cost to the planet? wherever you choose to surf, you still need all the right kit, and that comes with its own environmental baggage. paul

is a long way from the wooden works of art of the ancient hawaiians. it has been blamed for making boards so cheap, they can just be thrown away. today, the company says it is doing things in a more sustainable way. mark dale is the company's chief marketing officer. , , ., . officer. this is where we do a lot of lamination i officer. this is where we do a lot of lamination on i officer. this is where we do a lot of lamination on the i lot of lamination on the boards. lot of lamination on the boards-— lot of lamination on the boards. ., , , , boards. the factory uses the latest tech _ boards. the factory uses the latest tech to i boards. the factory uses the latest tech to reduce i boards. the factory uses the latest tech to reduce its i boards. the factory uses the i latest tech to reduce its waste and reliance on those toxic resins. . ., , and reliance on those toxic resins. _, , . ., resins. the cores are loaded to the machine — resins. the cores are loaded to the machine and i resins. the cores are loaded to the machine and we i resins. the cores are loaded to the machine and we are i resins. the cores are loaded to the machine and we are using i the machine and we are using hot air here and it's applying the raw material right onto the board. we don't use any epoxies or glues. they are damaging to the environment. the or glues. they are damaging to the environment.— the environment. the company sa s the the environment. the company says the carbon i the environment. the company says the carbon impact i the environment. the company says the carbon impact of i says the carbon impact of manufacturing here is 90% less than rival boards. rslur manufacturing here is 90% less than rival boards.— than rival boards. our carbon footprint _ than rival boards. our carbon footprint is — than rival boards. our carbon footprint is about i than rival boards. our carbon footprint is about 24 i than rival boards. our carbon footprint is about 24 kg i than rival boards. our carbon footprint is about 24 kg of i than rival boards. our carbon i footprint is about 24 kg of c02 footprint is about 24 kg of co2 from cradle to grave and epoxy

surfboards are 250 kilograms. but all of these boards have got to end up somewhere. so, what are they doing about the waste? today, i'm catching up with mark but i'm staying bedside in britain to get those air down. the fact that a wavestorm board is so cheap, it's really adding to the amount of waste reduced there is no getting away from that. you know, we try to keep the price low for the people and when something is low you really tend to throw it on the ground or leave it in the garage or leave it outdoors in the rain. i. the rain. so, in your view, it's not— the rain. so, in your view, it's not the i the rain. so, in your view, it's not the hundreds i the rain. so, in your view, it's not the hundreds of i it's not the hundreds of thousands of boards you are producing, it's the people that are buying them and chucking them in landfill?— are buying them and chucking them in landfill? yes, correct. misconceptions i them in landfill? yes, correct. misconceptions about i them in landfill? yes, correct. i misconceptions about wavestorm is that, you know, we are creating this massive board —— mass of boards that are meant for landfill if they are broken or not wanted and, you know, you can use a wavestorm board

for, you know, many years. we don't build boards as disposable boards here. can this really — disposable boards here. can this really just i disposable boards here. can this reallyjust be about consumer habits? , the surf industry members association represents manufacturers across the globe. it says they've donated up to $80 million to groups working to protect the oceans. it says: so, change may be happening but there is still another murky side to surfing — the wetsuit. for me, here in the uk, having one is essential. choosing a sustainable option isn't going to be easy because once again the petrochemical industry is behind the traditional wetsuit material, neoprene. it's been used to manufacture them for more than 70 years stop its energy intensive to make and

the toxic chemical it is made from is a possible carcinogen. and a neoprene wetsuit is not going to biodegrade anytime soon. it estimated about1 million are incinerated or end “p million are incinerated or end up in landfill every year. recycling them has not been an option... until now. in an anonymous lock—up in east london, one producer of company has been collecting old wetsuits customers have lying around. this is the collection of suits that we gathered and i thinkjustin's pile here we probably have about 950 and in less than four weeks we've gathered these. brute less than four weeks we've gathered these.— less than four weeks we've gathered these. we found these ones which _ gathered these. we found these ones which have i gathered these. we found these ones which have got i gathered these. we found these ones which have got to i gathered these. we found these ones which have got to be i gathered these. we found these ones which have got to be from | ones which have got to be from the �*80s and 90s and it's in really good condition. the '80s and 90s and it's in really good condition. really aood really good condition. really good condition! i really good condition. really good condition! neoprene i really good condition. really good condition! neoprene is| good condition! neoprene is such a really i good condition! neoprene is such a really strong i good condition! neoprene is| such a really strong material that they use it aligns landfill in the past so it goes to show how long it will take to show how long it will take to the grade but when it does it is so harmful for the environment.- it is so harmful for the environment. . ., environment. have you got any idea of the —

but it's not unusual to get these sort of temperatures in june. in fact, if you look at the past years, we've regularly approached the low to even mid 30s. so, where's this hot weather coming from? as you might expect from the southern climes. notjust quite hot air but also humid air, and we'll notice the humidity rising as we go through the course of the weekend — some really balmy nights on the way. so, the forecast for the early morning on saturday — some cloudier skies in the north—east, a few showers in the south—west but elsewhere, a lot of clear, sunny weather to start the day. temperatures around 15 degrees in plymouth. so, the forecast, then, for the morning shows lots of sunshine. perhaps those few showers lingering there in the south—west. but through the morning into the afternoon, shower clouds will start building across parts of wales and central england. here's a close—up of the midlands. here's birmingham. we could see some nasty downpours in places with hail and thunder and gusty winds but in between, large gaps of sunny weather, so it's going to be very

difficult to forecast exactly where these showers are going to occur but we're sure of the area, and this is the area here. but elsewhere, a lot of sunshine on the way and those temperatures rocketing to about 30 degrees, i think, in the hottest spots but around coastal areas, we're talking more like the low 20s. and that really balmy night's to come on saturday night — in fact, at 10pm, temperatures in some towns and cities will still be hovering around 20 degrees celsius. here's the forecast for sunday. again, a lot of sunshine around, very warm, very humid, but i think a greater chance of catching some showers and thunderstorms across many western parts of the uk. and remember — hail, thunder and gusty winds and then, it's back to sunshine again, so a bit ofa mixed bag in some areas. the temperatures should reach the high 20s but again, in some coastal areas, we're talking about the low 20s, so really quite fresh. and the outlook for the week ahead shows the warm weather continuing but a bit of a mixed

bag at times with a few showers continuing into monday. wherever you are, have a good weekend.
