My current adventure:
Our bottle odyssey
A foil-windsurfing expedition on a board 3D printed from littered plastic bottles. From the Seine river to Rhine rivermouth. This 8 day expedition will mark the countdown to World Clean Up Day.
See more!The Plastic Soup Surfer fights plastic pollution using his surfboard as a weapon. His campaigns combine plastic pollution awareness with creativity, innovation and constructive calls to action.

Achievements
In the spring of 2018 the Dutch parliament instated new policy that will see Deposit Fee on small plastic bottles by 2021 thus preventing tens of millions of bottles entering our environment every year. This policy was based on the ‘Plastic Soup Surfer resolution’ that was adopted a year earlier.
Let’s do something!
We are starting to drown in our plastic pollution. It is endangering all life on earth. We need to act now.
Take action!Social

Two years ago I kite surfed across to England on a board made from plastic bottles. Why? It was the kick-off to a petition to get deposit return instated on small plastic bottles in the Netherlands. This September I am foil windsurfing from Le Havre (Seine rivermouth) back to The Hague. - on a 3D printed surfboard from recycled plastic. Why? To call on you to join me in World Cleanup day - using our monitoring app Litterati (join our Litterati club via Pickup10.org).

BREAKING! Whilst all marine plastic breaks down into little pieces, it might also turn out to become a significant contributor to greenhouse gasses.
“At the end of the study, after 212 days in the sun, this plastic emitted 176 times more methane than at the start of the experiment.
Ironically, when plastics were exposed to air the amount of methane emitted was double the level from sea water.”
We have to stop our plastic addiction people. Help me pick up the pieces! Pickup10.org #plasticsoup #plasticpollution #euplasticsstrategy #seinetorhine #cleanseas #savetheoceans #reuse #nosingleuse

We are challenging YOU this September! But not only you... Ourselves as well; physically, mentally and technically... We are building worlds’ first foil windsurfingboard with a 3D printed frame of recycled plastic. A board for which we collected 5000 littered plastic bottles to use in its creation. The Plastic Soup Surfer will windsurf this unique board from the Seine rivermouth (le Havre FR) to the Hague (Scheveningen NL). An eight day expedition and the count down to World Clean Up Day. The finish of the Plastic Soup Surfer will mark the kick-off to this world wide event.
World Clean Up Day wishes to activate you to collect data on plastic litter using the Litterati App and clean up your neighbourhood at the same time!
