One dedicated surfer has come up with a business plan to build surfboards from ocean garbage. Kevin Cunningham surfer and founder of Spiare Surfboards was so distressed about the ocean garbage he kept running into that he decided to do something creative about it.
As Kevin likes to put it, “It is a dichotomy between the natural and unnatural. Natural materials form my surfboards; conversely, fragments of man-made debris such as plastic and glass are recycled and reused in the skin of the surfboard. Plastic bags woven into a strengthening cloth, plastic bottles cut up and reassembled into fins, and many other possibilities to be explored.
” His plans are initially to produce 100 hand made custom boards with ocean garbage, and if all goes well with the first 100, he plans on seeking outside financing to create an eco-conscious surfboard company using ocean garbage for his boards. Kevin even points out that if his board’s break they can be re-recycled into building materials.

The driving forces behind this joint project, PUKAS and TECNALIA, aim to “turn feelings into facts and figures” and provide as yet unquantified data that can be directly applied to improve the features of surfboards, the technical performance of surfers and/or measurement of parameters during competition.
