SUSTAINABLE SURF WEAR

Earth day is all about raising awareness of the need to protect our planet. One way we can all do this is by promoting sustainability. 

There are so many ways to implement a more “Earth-friendly” lifestyle, and one of those is with the things we wear, particularly when in the water!

The current landscape for clothes production is harmful to the planet, but there are some brands out there that champion sustainability. 

It is more important than ever to seek eco-clothing options, and at KSB we have plenty of sustainable surf wear options so you can celebrate our planet this Earth day 2023!
