At Wave Tribe, we care about what is happening to our planet and we are deeply concerned about the health of our oceans. We love to surf and we want to spend our hard-earned cash on surf gear that is made to last with ecology in mind. Back in 2007 we couldn't find any eco surf products in the surf shops so we decided to create a surf company that would put ecology and quality first. Life is too short to sit behind a desk and do anything about what is happening to our planet so we started an eco revolution and we'd love you to join us. Every product we make is made with care for the planet first, using high quality eco materials like hemp, cork, bamboo and recycled plastics. We started Wave Tribe back in 2007 when the word green referred to a color and now many of the mainstream surf brands are jumping on the green wagon to get your dollars---Wave Tribe helped build that eco wagon with deep roots in ecology, sustainability and lots of hard work. Along the way we have taken the time to research and develop our products in real life situations traveling to Bali, France, Mexico, Nicaragua, Spain, Brazil, Peru, Oz, New Zealand, G-land, Africa . . . and lot's more. Yea, we've been around and surfed some of the greatest waves on the planet and we are here to share that journey with you. While searching for waves we started making surf guides for you and writing travel articles while testing the Wave Tribe products. During all this travel we started using our products and changing them as we went (to make them better for you). We never stop innovating and we welcome your comments and suggestions. We make lots of people happy, which is very important to us. We are more than just a surf company, in many ways we are like a big family. We'd love to have you join. We are called TRIBE for a reason. So if you like waves, ecology and surf travel. Then you are a good match. Thanks for dropping in on Wave Tribe! Derek & Wave Tribe Crew :)
