Thoughts on Sustainability: “We just are so happy about the seemingly global interest in green right now. It is such an exciting time, full of innovation and consideration. Hopefully these themes will carry over to some of our social problems and we can involve everyone in this movement.” |

Thoughts on sustainability: “What is good for the body is generally good for the planet when we think of foods, transportation, and consumption. Surfing is good for the body…and we need to challenge ourselves to make our equipment less damaging to our environment. |

Thoughts on the "Green Movement": “I think it’s coming along. It’s inevitable that we all need to change our ways. I think we all need to share the knowledge we have, pass it on and keep learning more to keep surviving here on Earth.” |

Thoughts on the environment: “As Human beings we have only been around for 14,000 years and most of the Natural resources are within our capability to deplete in the next thousand. Scary, yes… but also with this same race of being we also have the power and knowledge to sustain them indefinitely. I am trying to help and do my part by supporting more research, promoting more reusable equipment, and trying to recycle as much of what already exists as possible.”

Thoughts on Sustainability: "Really?!! My thoughts on sustainability are simple: If we don't have a healthy environement / earth / planet, not much else is going to matter... I do understand that the sustainability movement can't and won't happen overnight but what is important is that we are making efforts and strides to think about our future, if not for us then for those who will inherit our world." |

 About Meghan and LisaLisa Randall and Meghan Dambacher, co-founders of Rerip.com, are residents of North County San Diego and avid surfers. While spending time together conversing over mediocre waves at pillbox, strong coffee, and weak beer, Rerip.com was created. Both water lovers and active individuals, Meghan and Lisa sought to do something more for the environment than they could through their current efforts organizing beach cleanups and recycling. Aware of the amount of energy and waste involved in creating new ripping equipment, they knew there had to be a way to link the thousands of perfectly good boards sitting unused in garages all over the globe to individuals looking for "new" equipment. |
