THE ECOBOARD PROJECT

The Ecoboard Project

Channel Islands is part of The ECOBOARD Project so that surfers can custom order the same high-performance surfboards they expect from Channel Islands – but that are “verified” by nonprofit partner Sustainable Surf, to have much less of an environmental impact…especially on the world’s oceans.


So what is an ECOBOARD anyway?
Custom Channel Islands surfboards made according to the ECOBOARD Project Benchmark can have up to a 40% reduction in environmental impacts to the world’s oceans (if both recycled foam and bio-based resin are used) as measured by lifecycle CO2 emissions. Toxicity and VOC levels of these new materials is also now effectively zero, which also puts a smile on workers faces. In short, this aint Gramp’s old “eco” surfboard – heavy, yellow and low performance…
Sustainable surfboard materials have improved significantly in recent years, and are now up to today’s demanding surfer who wants a bright white, high-performance board - that also happens to be better for people, the planet, and our ocean playground.

Construction and Costing:
All ECOBOARDS use:
Entropy/Super Sap - plant-based, zero VOC epoxy resin (17% bio-carbon content) (+$125, same as standard epoxy pricing)
