The ECOBOARD Project Benchmark:
An ECOBOARD must be made from at least one of the following materials:
Blank: foam made from minimum 40% recycled foam or at least 40% biological content
Resin: epoxy resin made from minimum 15% biological content with low VOCs
Alternative Structure: A surfboard structure made from sustainably
sourced biological/renewable material (aka-wood) that provides the
majority of the surfboard’s material and structural integrity – and
therefore significantly reduces the amount of foam or resin needed to
build the board.

verified ECOBOARD is an easy first step for any surfer to take to
reduce their surfing CO2 footprint".
