SAS Raffle Prizes!


We are proud to be a sponsor of Surfers Against Sewage and are currently working with SAS to support the amazing work they do for us all, campaigning for a cleaner ocean environment. We are donating a top of the range Eco-Friendly Surfboard with original SAS-focused artwork as a prize in the SAS Raffle this year. This years SAS Raffle has a green theme so get in the draw to win this great prize! or one of the other great green prizes on offer.

We are among the first manufacturers to use special eco-friendly surfboard materials including Bio-Foam™ (for the blanks) and Eco-comp UVL Resin. Bio-Foam is made from 40% plant-based eco materials and coupled with plant-based resin thats totally non-harmful, non-polluting and 98% eco. Woven glass-fibre laminated around the Bio-Foam creates a high-performance surfboard that competes with traditional boards in every way - so no compromise on performance to decrease your carbon footprint.

We dont believe in the old polluting, carcinogenic materials used to make surf and skateboards and so we are endeavouring to push forward with eco-friendly,high-performancee, long-lasting equipment for you. We live Life Sports every day, so we demand and understand the quality equipment you need.

This is only the beginning, as materials technology moves towards more eco-friendly products we will work with new materials and and modify our products. We will be pioneering the way - so keep coming back to find out what new or feel free to contact us. We are always looking to partner with like-minded individuals and companies. So if you want to get involved or need some help then get in touch.
