ECOBOARD Project at Blue Innovation Day 2024

The ECOBOARD Project by Sustainable Surf is revolutionizing the way the board-riding community approaches sustainability. Designed for surfers, paddleboarders, and all lovers of watersports, the project helps people build, buy, and ride high-performance boards that not only meet technical standards but also significantly reduce environmental and toxic impacts.

At the heart of the initiative is much more than the ECOBOARD label you’ll find on boards from top surf brands worldwide. It’s about educating individuals on the environmental impact of their lifestyle, using their surfboard as a gateway to deeper understanding. Through this project, riders become more aware of how their choices affect the environment and how they can take action to minimize harm.

ECOBOARDS are crafted with the same high-performance attributes as any modern watersport board but are made from more sustainable materials and produced with eco-friendly processes. These boards feature a measurably reduced carbon footprint by incorporating renewable, recycled, and upcycled material inputs. The manufacturing processes are designed to lower toxicity, ensuring that both workers and the planet are protected. Additionally, ECOBOARDS minimize waste, setting a new standard for the industry to follow.

The project’s goal is not just to create a more sustainable surfboard, but to inspire the entire board-riding community to live more eco-consciously. By making sustainability accessible and desirable, the ECOBOARD Project paves the way for surfers to become champions of environmental stewardship while riding waves.

Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or just starting out, choosing an ECOBOARD means choosing a healthier ocean and a healthier planet. It’s proof that you don’t have to compromise performance for sustainability—you can have both, and make a positive impact along the way.
