Materials policy
We spec parts to endure real sailing loads, then choose resins, fibers, and finishes with safer chemistries and long-term biodegradation pathways. Performance now; less micro-trash later.
Our Footprint
We make pro grade gear with a smaller impact. That means from raw materials to biodegradable packaging, and safer long-life materials, running the business to be carbon-negative. We won’t build products that can last 500 years as trash—but they will last a lifetime, even longer than metals in many cases; that’s a result of smart engineering that eliminates weak points.
- Biodegradable packaging
- Safe & long-life materials
- Carbon-negative footprint
- Ocean-plastic removed with every order
Packaging policy
Orders ship in paper-first boxes/mailers with compostable cushioning. We avoid mixed laminates and plastics so materials can biodegrade or be easily recycled. Tape & labels are paper-based wherever possible.
Carbon policy
Reduce first (lean ops, efficient freight, renewable-heavy hosting), then retire third-party verified credits above our measured footprint each year.
Waste & repairs
We design for care and repair. Fewer replacements = fewer shipments and less energy. See our care & repair guides.
Ocean impact
Every purchase funds removal of ocean-bound plastic through audited partners. We’ll publish seasonal totals and projects supported.
What you can do
- Reuse/recycle boxes; compost protective wraps where facilities exist.
- Batch orders to reduce shipments and emissions.
- Race clean—no trash overboard.
