OUTSIDE MAGAZINE BUYERS GUIDE 2009 selects WAVE TRIBE recycled leash as part of its BEST NEW GEAR for 2009. OUTSIDE MAGAZINE is dedicated to covering the people, activities, gear, art, and politics of the world outside.

OUTSIDE's product review editors decision to include Wave Tribe's recycled leash in the 2009 gear guide is testimony to a conscious shift that is beginning to take place among surfing aficionados and straight up gear heads.

After receiving a few sample leashes from Wave Tribe headquarters in Ventura, California, the OUTSIDE MAGAZINE surf team put the leashes to test and this is what those hardcore gear reporters had to say about Wave Tribe's product once a few waves had been, "every bit as comfortable and secure as any leash we've ever tried."

Wave Tribe was launched in early 2008 and is the first GREEN surf company dedicated to manufacturing ALL of its products in a sustainable way with care and concern for the environment, animals, and people. Wave Tribe produces recycled leashes, hemp surfboard bags, organic deck pads, and surf stoke. For more information see wavetribe.com or ask for Wave Tribe gear at your local surfshop.
