Nearly all of us come in to contact or use plastics in some way everyday, and while they make our lives way, way easier it comes at a cost. Aside from the occasional ramp up of people telling us not to use plastic bags not a lot of thought goes into the long term effects of the amount that goes to waste. Plastic doesn’t really break down the way the metal, paper, wood etc does so whilst some gets recycled the rest tends to make it’s way to the ocean. So much so that there exists ‘garbage patches’ miles and miles out to sea, there is even ‘garbage island’ a huge mass of plastics and debris that has built up from the flow of ocean currents.
‘Plastic Age’ talks with numerous people from scientists to musicians and fashion designers about solutions for turning this waste back into something usable. Using bionic yarn a collective of people are starting to make some of our favourite fashion staples, like jeans from ocean waste.

It’s always nice to be surprised and I have to admit that I was a little when watching this. Element’s a big brand, one that is now owned by a very large corporation so to hear the way founder Johnny Schillereff spoke about the brand it wasn’t what I was expecting. A very talented individual who with the same passion took his idea and turned it into one of the most recognised brands in skateboarding.

In a showing of the way surfing and skating will be forever intertwined HUF’s newest team edition to their until recently, skate only program is surfer Craig Anderson. With trips featuring HUF skaters Dylan Rieder and Austyn Gillette, Craig seemed like the logical choice for HUF’s foray into the surfing world.
