OC’s Green Foam & Anderson Cooper!
05.26.10
I’m super thrilled that Anderson Cooper is shining the spotlight on OC based Green Foam Blanks and Resurf Foundation tonight on CNN’s news show “Anderson Cooper 360°”. As Cooper says, his show takes “in depth look at the most interesting stories of the day” and as you’ll see Green Foam Blanks and Resurf Foundation’s founders Joey Santley and Steve Cox of San Clemente are changing the impact of the surf industry on the environment.
The two discovered a new process to recycle polyurethane foam dust waste – previously headed for the landfill into first quality surfboard blanks ready for shaping. Dubbed Green Foam, these blanks are being ridden by top pro surfers and are available from any surf retailer for custom orders.
Cox and Santley also started Resurf Recycling, an organization dedicated reducing the impact that surf industry manufacturing has on landfills. By creating guidelines and best practices for recycling different types of raw surf industry waste including wetsuit neoprene waste cuttings, Cox and Santley have partnered with industry icons Quiksilver, O’Neill, Xcell, Ocean and Earth and ASEC the Action Sports Environmental Coalition. “Every day we try to make a another small step towards industry sustainability and we urge others to join us in this quest,” says Santley.
Check out this video on Green Foam from San Clemente Times here, and watch “Anderson Cooper 360°” tonight from 7 to 8 p.m. on CNN.
There will be an expanded web version of the story that will run on CNN.com starting tomorrow.
Green Foam Blanks is at 1001 Ave Pico in San Clemente. 949.542.0464

As soon as we read that many renowned OC athletes drink coconut water as a recovery drink, and for its health benefit here, we decided to give it (another) try. And by far, our favorite tasting brand is ZICO pure premium coconut water. ZICO says it has more potassium than a banana, natural electrolytes, and no fat or added sugar. It’s available in natural, lima citron and pomberry flavors. Now packaged in environmentally friendly bottles. Costs $2.79 per bottle. We’ve found ZICO locally at Whole Foods and Mother’s Markets
