Yesterday, we introduced Dakine‘s Friendly Foam. It came along with a Magic School Bus-esque animation and was relatively educational. We back what Dakine is doing with their biodegradable tail pads, so we put together this little informercial for them. 

A few takeaways: Andy and Bruce Irons, still have the highest selling tailpads out of Dakine’s line, although John Florence’s come in a close second and Dakine, apparently has scientists, who figured out how to make the foam in our tailpads more sustainable and eco-friendly, and in the era of attempting to not let our earth’s temperature rise another 2 degrees Celsius, any step towards decreasing our carbon foot print is something to celebrate. 

Go on, hit play and head here to shop Dakine pads
