Attach a Trash Picker to Paddles
Starboard has created a Trash Picker made from recycled plastic that now comes standard with all watersport paddles. You can attach it to your paddle and easily remove litter items like floating plastic bags or packaging.
Each day, the top five plastic-polluting rivers in the world deposit 1,652 tons of plastic particulates into the sea.
