Scott Mac Donough has created another innovative cardboard surfboard variation. It may need some fine tuning - but bring on 'The Cardboard'!

WASTE to WAVES


We've all seen EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) - It's the white packaging foam that protects new TV's, fridges, computers etc. Waste to Waves is 'turning trash into slash' in the US by creating a program where anybody can drop clean bits of EPS foam to certain surfstores so they can recycled back into surfboard blank foam via Marko Foam Blanks

My mate Cody Hess from California gave me the heads up on this link! He recently created a board of his own too reppin' the 1000SG stencil yew, international shaka ~!~
