At TKMSURF, we care about the oceans and the earth, which means we should strive to surf safely and sustainably. One way to do our small part is use boards made from recycled material. plastic, wood, cork, or bamboo. These surfboards are more eco-friendly than the conventional ones that use polystyrene, which is a synthetic material that can take over 500 years to decompose. Some of the brands that produce these surfboards are:
- Spooked Kooks: A mega surfboard brand with a small carbon footprint, Spooked Kooks is the soft board supplier of dreams. They make their boards from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic waste, even the fins.
- Organic Dynamic: This custom surfboard brand makes high-end products from locally sourced and environmentally friendly materials. They make each board to order and tailor it the individual consumer.
- NOTOX: NOTOX produces eco surfboards (Certified Gold Level Ecoboard by The ECOBOARD project) without compromising on performance or price. The materials for products are sourced as close as possible to reduce carbon usage, whilst using organic natural or recycled materials with no toxins.
- Riley Balsa Wood Surfboards: This Australian brand uses balsa wood, which is a renewable and biodegradable material, to create beautiful and durable surfboards. Balsa wood is also lighter and stronger than most other woods used for surfboards.
- Firewire: Firewire is one of the most popular and innovative surfboard brands in the world. Firewire uses recycled EPS foam and bio-resin to create their boards. They designed them to reduce waste and optimize performance.
Hopefully this list helps you surf safely and sustainably!
