Spirare Surfboards - Made from trash |
|
The ocean is amass with litter, with both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans containing mountains of garbage. Every year approximately 14 billion pounds of tires, cardboard boxes, plastic cups, bottles, cans, and other trash are dumped into the ocean.
One man, Kevin Cunningham set about to make a difference.
Surfers traditionally respect the ocean and environment and actively work to protect it, yet we ride surfboards that are made from highly toxic materials that are a hazard to both the people who make them and the environment.
Spirare Surfboards explores innovative surfboard design using alternative materials and methods to make highly functional pieces of fine art that emphasize green design and sustainable construction.
Surfboards are the ultimate combination of form and function. Compound curves mingle together to create an elegant form in which the user rides a wave.
Intrinsic patterns and inlays compliment the surfboard's form to link deeper thoughts and feelings into each board.
Spirare Surfboards are made with a conscientious approach to both the surfboard as a functional device and to sustainable design. Whether boards are shaped from foam, wood, or a composite combination of both, Spirare strives to use the most eco-friendly materials and methods available without compromising on performance.
