What does it mean to “work in sustainability?” We spoke with @prAna Sustainability and Innovation Manager, Ellen Johnson, to find out. 🌊✨ For a second year in a row, the Surfrider Foundation and prAna are partnering around our shared commitment to protecting the natural environments that inspire us to get outside – whether through surfing, hiking, climbing, or simply connecting with nature. As Ellen shared with us, “prAna was founded on an ethos rooted in sustainability… the founders decided they wanted to use their business as a platform for positive change.” That ethos continues to guide prAna today, helping set the standard for what it means to lead with purpose and environmental responsibility. 🌎 Our conversation with Ellen offers a behind-the-scenes look at prAna’s stewardship and thoughtful decision-making, exploring how conscious collaboration can drive even greater impact in protecting our ocean, waves, and beaches.

“Surfrider has a history of successfully driving change through public policy. Coastal conservation efforts would not have come as far as they have without the community engagement that Surfrider leads.” Rani Crosby is the President of the Surfrider Student Club at UC San Diego 🌊 First getting involved with the South Bay Chapter’s Blue Water Task Force in 7th grade, Rani has grown from student lab director to building an entirely new Surfrider community on her college campus — creating a space for UCSD students passionate about coastal conservation to connect, learn, and take action.

Surfrider Maui Chapter shows us what resilience looks like ✊🌊 In the aftermath of the 2023 Lahaina wildfires, Surfrider Maui Chapter launched a coastal water quality monitoring program to answer the question their community was asking over and over again: “Is it safe to swim yet?” Testing for fecal bacteria, heavy metals, and other fire-related contaminants, the chapter was able to confirm that West Maui’s coastal waters were safe for ocean recreation and help their community return to the water safely. Recovery is also taking root on land. So far, through their Ocean Friendly Gardens program, Surfrider Maui Chapter has: 📖 Created a Fire-Resilient Landscape Guide for Lahaina & West Maui 🌱 Planted 3,000 native trees and plants to protect Honolua Bay 🤝 Partnered with local schools and community gardens to grow the next generation of watershed stewards ʻAʻohe hana nui ke alu ʻia. No task is too big when done together by all. Learn more in the full 2025 #CleanWaterReport: hubs.la/Q04h9v700

We’d like to give a HUGE thanks to everyone who participated in the Paddle Out to Protect Our Coast last weekend at Refugio State Beach. This event raised public awareness and engagement related to the critical threat of new offshore oil drilling — at the same beach where the Plains All-American oil spill occurred 11 years ago. The Trump administration will be releasing a revised offshore drilling plan any day. Once that happens, we will then have 90 days to submit public comments and make our voices heard. This will be our final opportunity to speak up and take action to prevent more oil spills, like the one that devastated Santa Barbara’s coast in 2015. hubs.la/Q04hyJY30 #DrillingIsKilling #ProtectOurCoast #NoMoreOilSpills

Surfrider’s 2025 Beach Bacteria Hot Spots 🦠🌊 Is your beach making you sick? Surfrider’s Blue Water Task Force has identified 10 beach bacteria hot spots across the U.S where high bacteria levels are consistently measured—putting swimmers, surfers, and families at serious risk. Each location regularly shows dangerous levels of fecal-indicator bacteria tied to human illnesses, including gastrointestinal issues, flu-like symptoms, and serious skin conditions like MRSA and staph infections. The Surfrider chapters testing these sites are working urgently in their communities to alert the public about these health hazards and advocate for solutions to stormwater runoff, failing sewage infrastructure, and other contributing sources of pollution. 📍 Is your beach on the list? Visit hubs.la/Q04h9v700 to learn more! #CleanWaterReport. 📷 Photo 6 by Kathryn Wheeler, Photo 8 by Veriditas Rising
