Surfing With Hemp
Posted by on 03/05 at 06:48 PM
 From OceanGreen Surfboards: The aim of OceanGreen is to produce custom surfboards that are 100% bio-derived, that is, made entirely from natural materials. Most surfers feel compromised by having to use equipment that is ecologically damaging in what should be a natural environment. OG give surfers the choice of showing respect for their environment as they interact with it.
OG aims to replace each of the surfboard's 3 base materials with an environmentally friendly alternative which has equal or better qualities for the job. Using Hemp cloth instead of fibreglass, we have started the process. Combined with polystyrene foam and epoxy resin, this produces boards which are lighter, stronger and greener. OG are continually sourcing new products to replace the foam and resin whilst developing new methods to use older, sounder natural products.
