Well in the last few months they’ve been spreading their message and working hard to make it even easier to recycle foam into surfboards. Check out this great new segment that ABC in San Francisco, CA did on them.

“The long lasting changes in human behavior can occur when we connect emotionally to the damage humans have brought to the ocean.  And sustained clean up efforts are motivated by a passion to do good for the environment. It’s time for us all to listen to Earth’s blue heart.”
