A few years ago we featured an article on a project making surfboards from seaweed, Charlie Cadin is back. This time with the help of bees, could this be the way forward to reduce the environmental impact of surfboards?
“I have made a resin from beeswax, it’s the only 100% bio-based and fully biodegradable resin on the planet, disappearing in one month when buried. This reduces the environmental impact hugely, and when combined with a wood or recyclable foam core the possibilities are cool. The biggest thing to me about this project is that it is so simple and cheap to do, hopefully encouraging people to try making their own boards, as glassing can be scary at first.”
