I drove past Sandbanks beach in Dorset the other day, the bay was full of kite surfers, the sky was awash with huge vibrant kites, it was an amazing sight. It certainly sparked my interest, im now looking into taking lessons.
Most surfers are eco-friendly and do active things to help keep there local beaches clean because it's simple, rubbish on the beach means rubbish in the surf.
The amount of wave riders are increasing dramatically as well so thankfully were getting more people that care about the ocean.
