In 2023, the PWA continued its environmental partnership with SOMWR to ensure that all major events in the season are positive for both people and the planet.
This year, the PWA held 5 major events across the world, including the Grand Slam in Fuerteventura and Windsurf World Cups in Torbole, Gran Canaria, Sylt and Yokosuka. For the third year in a row, the association has partnered with SOMWR to ensure that every event has a positive impact on the environment.
As environmental partners the PWA collect and share carbon emission data from each of their events and SOMWR supports in calculating and offsetting these emissions 10X over.
SOMWR and the PWA have also supported the collection of 14kg of shoreline plastic for every athlete and PWA staff member involved in the 2023 season.
The partnership continues to demonstrate that everyone can take responsibility to protect our playground. Read how we do it in our report below.
If your centre or event wants to improve its environmental impact too or if you have any feedback on our methodology, please contact eco@star-board.com. We always looking for ways for our actions to have more, positive impact!
