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'!

DIY Surfboard Shelf

Forget IKEA - My mates dad split one old surfboard down the stringer and then cut another up for the shelves. 2 bolts in the sides and wol~lah a brand new book shelf.

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 ~!~
