OUR MISSION
RERIP’s mission is to keep surf gear out of landfills while promoting sustainability in surfing. Through community collection efforts and giveaway programs, RERIP diverts hundreds of boards a year, reallocating them to fellow surfers, artists, and DIY enthusiasts. RERIP also hosts local events and awareness campaigns to inspire environmental thought and action.

Iron Mike Festival
The Iron Mike Festival is an annual event celebrating community, surfing and sustainability. The day is filled with live music, art, ocean contests, a board swap, activities and beer garden. Get involved in the fun!
Celebrating Community
Guided by the belief that small acts can have a large impact, RERIP has inspired many environmental initiatives in the surf industry for almost 20 years. What functions as California’s surfboard recycling program (6 active locations from SF to SD), is also a platform for creating awareness around individual and community stewardship.
