The green room – inside the tube - is the ultimate destination for every surfer. Lost in liquid, it’s a place where time travel seems possible, sliding in surreal slow motion. But despite our quest to find the green room, surfers are about as environmentally green as a Texan oil garden. We paddle out in our PVC-colour-coordinated-petrochemical-outfit and claim to be clean living, but the truth is rather different: surfers worldwide consume three quarters of a million toxic, non-sustainable surfboards per year.
