Where do old surf boards go to die? On the tropical islands of Hawaii, colorful old surf boards often end up at the landfill but some enterprising landowners have chosen a different approach.
They line up the well used and abuse old boards along the edge of their property and create a unique and very Hawaiian style of fence – the surf board fence.
Relying on donated boards and those that simply wash up on the shore, these fences project the surfer code of respect for the environment.
Surfrider Foundation’s – The Surfer’s Code
- Respect the beach, ocean and others
- The surfer closest to the peak has the right of way
- First to his or her feet has priority
- Stay out of the way of riders on waves
- If in doubt, don’t paddle out
- Be aware of currents, jetties and other surfers
- Hold on to your board
- Clean up after yourself and others less thoughtful
- Always aid another surfer in trouble
- Share the water, your knowledge and your stoke
- Give Respect To Gain Respect
