Surfing event in Hawaii accomplishes zero carbon emissions

During the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, event organisers celebrated sustainability by managing to deliver a zero carbon emissions event while raising awareness about oceans protection among surfers and visitors.

The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing in Hawaii was a zero carbon emissions event.

The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is a three-event series taking place at Haleiwa, Sunset, and the Banzai Pipeline beaches in Hawaii, attracting an average of 25,000 visitors on competition days putting significant environmental stress on the beaches.

Against this challenge, Vans partnered with Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, an environmental organisation dedicated to improving consumer behaviour to tackle ocean pollution. They launched a comprehensive sustainability initiative to alleviate the carbon footprint of the event and made sure that visitors do not leave a negative environmental impact in the area.
