Join our worldwide Clean Beach Days TO #SAVEOURPLAYGROUNDS!

DTW Clean Beach Day

our worldwide Clean Beach and Trail Days ARE kicking off THIS WEEKEND from 28.04. – 01.05.2022. As watersports athletes and mountain bikers we feel connected to our oceans, lakes, rivers, forests and mountains. To practice these sports that mean so much to us, we depend on our natural environment and in turn feel it is our responsibility to take care of it.    

DTW Clean Beach Days

The “Save Our Playgrounds” initiative from Duotone, ION and Fanatic aims to protect and preserve our environment for future generations so they too will be able to enjoy the nature and the stoke of our sports.

In 2022, for the third time since the start of our initiative, we call on you to help us clean beaches, lakesides, river shores, mountain trails and forests in a joint effort to Save Our Playgrounds. Kicking off this weekend, this year we are aiming even higher, running a Save our Playgrounds Mission for three months.
