The Broken Skateboard Surfboard: Björn Holm

Finnish designer Björn Holm has been collecting broken skateboards since 2011 from friends, relatives, and fellow skaters in his community. Much like 1000 Surfboard Graveyard, Holm realised that:

'Skateboards are sweet, its just as simple as that. Most people throw them away after they snap. Thousands of boards being used as landfill all over the world, and that´s a shame with this great material inside these boards. Don't throw those boards away, keep them and make something beautiful!' - Björn Holm

Holm's creation is a colourful, 100% recycled 6'4" fish surfboard made from nothing but broken/old skateboards. He called the project RETO - REcycle for TOmorrow - see the video for the full story.

Cardboard Surfboard: Hand-made By Scott Mac Donough

You may know of the cardboard surfboard kits made by Mike Sheldrake (if not, click HERE NOW). It's not exactly the first material one tends to associate with surfboard construction. Scott Mac Donough has created another innovative cardboard surfboard variation. It may need some fine tuning - but bring on 'The Cardboard'!

Bringing Back The Dead...

A nice example of a proper surfboard restoration found in the June 2011 Smorgasboarder magazine - www.smorgasboarder.com.au

The Original Eden Project Eco-board

 

Here are some photos from my visit to The Eden Project. The Eden Project in Cornwall, England, is the home of the world's largest green house, which takes form as several massive interconnected biomes. The Eden Project launched an eco-surfboard project back in March 2009, the board now resides on display in the largest biome. The Eden Project also focus on educating people about creating a sustainable future through initiatives like the Real Cool Futures website 

...Over five years, staff at Eden worked with three other companies, Homeblown, Sustainable Composites and Laminations, to produce the board which is made from 50 per cent renewable materials. The move is considered a significant step forward from the petroleum chemicals used in traditional surfboard production.

333 Broken Surfboard Halves - One Third!

Here are some photos to visualise one-third of the 1000 Surfboard Graveyard collection! The boards rest in a semi-organised fashion (note the tails ordered by height) this mainly to maximise space in the backyard, which is slowly disappearing...

The next mile stone is 500!

Even kids bodyboards... 

and surf mats!

 ...pretty much anything inflatable too.

Lots of interesting 'surf' conditions here! 

Hardly a new frontier, but amusing nonetheless.
