These Eco Friendly Surfboards Are Made From Mushrooms

These mushroom-made eco-friendly surfboards are 100% biodegradable. The small-sized version was invented by Steve Davies when he was a design student at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Now, Davies is working on the full-sized prototype. It’s made from mycelium, the root-like part of fungi from which mushrooms sprout. Its inventor hopes it can help surfing become more sustainable and reduce the amount of plastic waste in the ocean. In the words of Davies, “Surfing does have a really negative impact on the environment at times, and this is something that really needs to be acted upon. I genuinely do think that sustainable design is the way forward.” Watch to learn more about these eco friendly surfboards.
