Clean Beach Days 2022

Join our worldwide Clean Beach Days to save our playgrounds and get the chance to win One of two vouchers - 1000€ each - for shopping at any B&M brand!

As watersports athletes we feel connected to our oceans and lakes. To practice these sports that mean so much to us, we depend on our natural environment and in turn feel it is our responsibility to take care of it. At Boards & More we constantly strive to minimize our ecological footprint and are aware of our responsibility to protect the environment. The Clean Beach Days are another small step in this direction and together with your help, it can grow to become an even bigger step. In 2022, for the third time since the start of our initiative, we call on you to help us clean beaches, lakesides, river shores in a joint effort to save our playgrounds. Join our worldwide initiative and help us to #SaveourPlaygrounds!

Lizzy Carr

PlaNET Patrol

Thankfully, one incredible Stand Up Paddleboarder – Lizzie Carr - is spearheading a global mission to rid the world of plastic pollution, by tackling it from its root - canals and rivers all over world – thereby intercepting it before it reaches the oceans.

Already a keen adventurer and environmentalist, Lizzie originally got into SUP for fitness, but soon noticed that the waterways around London where she paddled were clogged with plastic waste. Lizzie set up a non-profit organisation that has grown to become a global movement of like-minded people working together on land and water to protect the environment we love.

Planet Patrol (formerly called Plastic Patrol) helps to organise clean-ups all over the world (44 countries and counting), bringing communities together at specified events to identify and collect plastic waste, photograph and log the evidence through the Planet Patrol App, before clearing it away. On World Cleenup Day Planet Patrol was organising global clean up actions in differents segments - a great achievement - which we're proudly supporting!

Michael Walther

Zero Emissions

Since 2008, Michael is pursuing two goals with his projects. With his extreme adventure tours, he wants to highlight the possibilities of climate-friendly technologies and demonstrate that it is often a matter of will and not of skill when it comes to achieving goals – on both board development and in climate protection. In 2018 Michael was paddling to the edge of the glaciers in Greenland to raise awareness for climate change. He was following “The Great Route” from Aasiaat to Ilulissat to find out more about the life on the rough island in the past and in the present. This trip showed that we have to act, to protect this unique northern region and of course our whole planet, highlighting how radical climate change is already here. In May 2019 he did another project called “Emission-free through Schleswig-Holstein” where he travelled across Germany’s northernmost state via SUP – 700 km.

Michael and his projects are supported by Fanatic and we're in close contact with him also about ways to improve our products to become more sustainable.

Thomas Oschwald

Stand Up For Safe Water

SUP adventurer Thomas Oschwald from Switzerland paddled from the North Sea up the Rhine to the Tomasee at 2 345 meters above sea level. He traveled for 3 000 kilometers and was on the water for 2 – 3 months. His tour took him through 6 countries – all for a destination that is actually located only a few kilometers away from his home. On the first 1600 km long stage to the mouth of the Rhine, the adventurer had porpusly moved away from the clean spring water. In this section, he experienced first-hand what it means when clean drinking water does not simply bubble out of the tap. A water cleansing system for bottled water forced the adventurer to get along with the water that surrounds him.

Thomas has already done several SUP micro expeditions and is always in search of new challenges in sports and everyday life, he keeps pushing his limits. His inner conviction is that it forces him to face all the big and small challenges in life while he breaks out of the everyday rhythm and strides out into new worlds.

Pascal Rösler

Pure Water for Generations

In 2017 Pascal Roesler, a businessman from Munich, paddled from Munich to the mouth of the Danube into the Black Sea, 2 467 km and 63 days on the water with his Falcon Air, about 600 000 paddle strokes in total. He did that all for a good cause – to raise awareness of the need for clean water, essential for our planet’s survival. In 2018 he went down the river Salzach, accompanied by our river SUP ambassador Oliver Heldt. The Salzach runs 225 kilometers before flowing into the river Inn. Pascal started his tour from the source near the Salzachgeier to demonstrate how the river changes on its way. In July 2019 he visited several schools in Bavaria to demonstrate awareness towards our water and environment. With 30 Fanatic SUPs, SUPing was a big part of this programme with over 1000 students enjoying the experience and learning more about sustainability and the role they can play in safeguarding our planet for future generations. In the meantime, Pascal has left his full time employment to
dedicate his time and effort to saving the environment with many exciting new projects to come.
