Sea Sweepers - Stand Up Paddlers clean up Vietnam waterways

Paddle for Plastic Pollution

Owner of the Mui Ne Kite-N-Surf School - Rob Kidnie plans to spend two weeks paddling down the 10th longest river in the world: the Mekong River. Starting in Cambodia, Rob's plan is to Stand Up Paddle all the way out to the South China Sea in Vietnam.

Why? "To raise awareness for the need for cleaner oceans, waterways and beaches" says Rob. Plastic bag pollution is a massive problem, plaguing Asia's waterways and causing catastrophic environmental implications.

Not only will the Stand Up Paddlers be collecting rubbish and debris along the way, they're looking for a major sponsor who can assist in the cleanup. One group of paddlers can only do so much; local organisations and the people of South Asia need to pitch in and help solve the problem! 

Rob plans to do the paddle whether or not he gets corporate backing, he just wants a group of like minded SUP'ers to join him in one epic paddle. If you DO know of anyone who could help out the Paddle for Plastic Pollution, send the Kite-N-Surf school an email at kitensurf@gmail.com.
