But, what is the goal of Flama Circular, and what makes it a movement within the surfing industry?

The surfing industry is projected to generate $4.8 billion dollars by 2028. For more than 70 years, unsustainable materials have been used in the manufacturing of surfing products. The purpose of Flama Circular is to re-think the surfing industry. We started with a change in sustainable production. We are in the process of creating change in the entire global surfing community and beyond by inviting members to connect and share technical know-how, experience, sustainable materials, and successes.

The goal of Flama Circular is to lead the change in sustainability in the surfing industry. To do this, our collaborative Open Surf model, based on open source, encourages the sharing of knowledge, innovations and sustainable processes among the global surfing community.

Old Surfer is proud of this recognition as co-creator and partner of Flama Circular, leading the movement together with FlamaSurf.

As surfers who love the oceans, it hasn’t been easy, but we are proud to be on the crest of the sustainability wave!

Join Flama Circular to create a more sustainable surfing industry!
