Environmental Stewardship
Here at Paddle Sports we recognize our responsibility as citizens of planet earth and of the business community to minimize our impact on the world we live in. We are committed to supporting businesses and organizations with similar environmental ethics.
Channel Islands Beach Clean Up Official Sponsor:
In 2006, Paddle Sports of Santa Barbara teamed up with the Nature Conservancy and members of the community to organize and participate in a clean-up of Santa Cruz Island. This clean-up took place over 2 weekends in the Fall of 2006. The second weekend included an airlift of over 1 ton of plastic that had washed up at China Bay.
