If you care about the environment, then using standard surfboards probably doesn’t sit well with you. They usually contain toxic material, mainly polyurethane, and can be really bad for the ocean.

However, this doesn’t mean that you have to give up surfing altogether, thanks to Tony Smith. The founder of Jarvis Boards, a company that makes wooden paddleboards and surfboards out of recycled material, Smith handcrafts each board in the company’s headquarters in Austin, Texas, while making sure they use a minimum amount of plastic.

According to the company’s website, the material used for boards is “recycled foam core, eco-friendly lightweight wood, and resins made from recycled bio-waste.”

While Smith’s boards can cost up to $4,500, they are well worth it. Not only they look amazing, but they also last three times longer than conventional boards. 

Check them out below.

Wood and resin are a great combination when it comes to making one-of-a-kind home furniture, but it looks like this mix works well in the surfboard-making industry. Australian graphic designer and avid surfer Josh Marks uses wood and resin to create unique and great looking surfboards that you probably won’t find anywhere else.

After making several surfboards for himself, Marks saw that people are getting interested in his works and started studio Hardwood Tides through which he began selling these awesome pieces. He designs and crafts each surfboard by hand while using high-quality materials including natural edge timber and industrial grade low solvent epoxy resin.

Check out some of his works below.
