Eco-Friendly Surfboards Paving the Way for Revolution in Sustainability

Surfing is a sport that's deeply symbiotic with the ocean. The sport is seeing a big green push, leading to eco-friendly surfboard technology that's revolutionizing the industry. Recent advancements in technology are revolutionizing the production of surfboards using sustainable materials and environmentally friendly processes. These advancements reduce the ecological footprint without sacrificing overall performance. Traditionally, surfboards are made using polyurethane foam, polyester resin, and fiberglass. Polyurethane foam is toxic to the environment, and these chemical compounds contribute to pollution, releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and non-biodegradable waste. The move to green technology in the surfing industry is a heartfelt one. The big development is the shift to recycled and bio-based materials. The creation of Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam has become a staple component in surfboard production for brands like Channel Islands Surfboards and Firewire. EPS is often blended with up to
