Sustainable Surfboards
We build surfboards! Not just any surfboards but, industry leading eco-friendly surfboards.
Eco Evo Surf is on a mission to reduce surfing’s carbon footprint and offer performance equal to, if not greater than your typical surfboard.
All of our surfboard designs and products embrace and promote core principles of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” for a more circular and sustainable economy.
We take careful consideration of applying these principles as best as we can in the products we design, manufacture and promote.
Commercially built surfboards are quite toxic and harmful to the environment. Each board generates around 400 pounds of CO₂ and there are over a million boards made each year.
As surfers we are attuned to the ocean, mother-nature and the environment. That is why at Eco Evo Surf, we are on a mission to create surfboards that are sustainable and reduce surfing’s carbon footprint, while providing uncompromised performance.
- RECYCLED FOAM BLANK
- Stronger board due to tight fusion between the beads.
- Cleaner look, Easier to shape due to the tightly fused beads that do not fall apart.
- Eco-Board Approved by Sustainable Surf.
- FLAX FIBRE CLOTH
- This plant really loves CO2. With a little help of the sun, flax plants on one hectare absorb more than a 3,7 metric tons of carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen.
- Like all-natural fibres, you can recycle or compost flax. Moreover, flax has a natural colour with a beautiful earthy look and feel.
- Compared to its CO2absorption, the plant needs very little water. It has also very few natural enemies, making the use of pesticides obsolete.
- BASALT FIBRE STRINGER
- It can reduce chatter as Basalt has a dampening property.
- Strong impact protection – will not shatter like carbon fibre
- High tensile strength
- It generally flexes more than carbon
- It is a strong and responsive stringer
- BIO BASED ECO RESIN
We use Bio epoxy resin in our laminating process.
It is a patented process, non-carcinogenic Bio Epoxy with a market leading 77% Bio Content. No other Epoxy Resin currently on the market in the world today can make this claim.
Some facts about Bio Resin:
- Low VOC (odourless and contains no solvents)
- BPA free (contains no bis-phenols)
- UV stable (clear application & does not yellow)
- Extremely hard, 54 MPA (tensile)
- Utilizes waste glycerol
- 100% renewable source resin
- Organic – technically its vegan
Due to the attributes above, the Bio based resin doubles the products life expectancy, meaning it actually saves you money in the long run.
We continue to work with organizations to increase the level of bio content, without compromising quality. They recently developing a world first bio based hardener, which we are begin to test for our product range.
