The focus was to protect and conserve surf ecosystems around the world through coastal restoration climate action and reducing plastic pollution. WSL PURE is bringing this to life by partnering with local communities Indigenous peoples surfers and a coalition of over 100 organizations to lead initiatives at each location on the Championship Tour. Activations included a variety of community grassroots-led initiatives including planting native coastal species in Hawaii removing plastic from the waterways in Indonesia and restoring coral ecosystems in Tahiti.
