Over the 2021 summer holiday season, 1,082 snapped plastic bodyboards were recovered from south-west beaches by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy’s Ocean Recovery Project.
The boards, collected from Croyde Bay, Fistral beach and Bude, are just a small percentage of the boards that go to waste each year.
Working with community groups and beach owners, the coordinated collection has filled an entire shipping container with broken boards. Shockingly, this only scratched the surface of the problem across the region.
Click the link below to find out more about the problem, what we're doing with the collected boards, and how our new board hire scheme hopes to stem the rising tide in time for summer 2022.

The ‘#WaveOfWaste’ £1 hire scheme works with resorts in the South West by supplying them with quality bodyboards to hire to their visitors. The plan is that this will stop demand for the cheap disposable boards.
The scheme, which was trialled this year with three resorts, has been very popular with guests. The £1 hire charge makes it accessible for everyone and they benefit from a quality board. The boards cost Keep Britain Tidy £30 and are supplied by Zuma Jay surf shop and come with a lifetime guarantee against snapping.
Donate just £30 to the charity today and your donation could help us purchase additional boards to expand the scheme for summer 2022.
