Welcome to the future of surfing—where better boards mean a better planet.

The Ecoboard Project is a program of Seatrees that helps the board-riding community to build, buy and ride high-performance sustainable boards.

“The simple act of choosing a more sustainable board can be an on-ramp into a dramatically more sustainable, ocean-friendly life.”

Much more than just the ‘ECOBOARD’ label found on boards from the world’s best surf brand, the ECOBOARD Project educates and engages individuals about the environmental impacts of their board-riding lifestyles through the lens of their surfboard.

What’s an ECOBOARD?

An ECOBOARD is a high-performance sustainable board. ECOBOARDS have the same technical performance attributes as any modern water-sport board, while having reduced environmental and toxic impacts – through the use of more sustainable materials and manufacturing processes.

When you see a board displaying the ECOBOARD Level One or Gold Level label we have verified that it has one or more of the following attributes:

  • A measurably reduced carbon footprint
  • Renewable, recycled and/or up-cycled material inputs
  • Uses materials and processes that reduce toxicity during manufacturing
  • Reduces waste during manufacturing
  • Plants a Seatree!
