SEPTEMBER 2020 • FOOTWEAR TODAY • 3 FRONT COVER: Ocean Refresh
In 2019, Bernardo Pedroso founded Ocean Refresh. We have big ambitions and a clear purpose – to rid our oceans of plastic. As the son of one of Brazil’s
first female surfers, a love of the ocean was instilled in Bernardo at an early age. With a childhood spent
playing in the seas of Brazil’s iconic Itúana beach, the ocean was part of his everyday life. Later, with a
family of his own, witnessing the scale of destruction of our planet’s oceans became intolerable. Bernardo felt compelled to take action and play his part in turning the tide on this massive but solvable problem.
