I had the opportunity of chatting with Wave Tribe founder Derek Dodds. Wave Tribe is doing some excellent things in the green surf space, including using hemp as a board bags fabric, selling upcycled board bags made from used billboards, and manufacturing leashes made with recycled plastic.
In the video interview, Derek talks about how he started Wave Tribe, why he chose hemp as the material for Wave Tribe’s board bags, how Wave Tribe manufactures its gear, and where he sees the surf industry moving with respect to green gear.
Here’s the video interview:
