As surfing continues to attract an ever-increasing population of humans, the amount of surfboards being deployed also continues to rise. But what happens to surfboards as their short life-span plays out? A significant percentage end up in landfills, contributing to environmental degradation and waste.
While absolute sustainability within the surf industry may be a long way off, taking steps towards a cleaner approach is exciting. Forward thinking shapes made from recyclable materials are becoming more prevalent. The new R-Series foamies by Almond Surfboards, for example, aims to take things in a more positive direction without compromising the foamie surf experience.
