Green Surfboards for Ibiza

Have you ever wondered what there is to do on the Balearic Island of Ibiza? Well, if that’s the case, then it’s obvious you’ve never been there. There are a great many natural and human created activities, attractions and events throughout the island that make it an ideal vacation destination, and for some the perfect residential location. There is a diverse and thriving club scene, many historical ruins and cultural landmarks to keep all visitors to the island happy and occupied. The beaches are world known and beautiful, and offer plenty of water sport options as well as a simple and relaxing afternoon or beautiful sunset dinner. Many people have a favorite Ibiza town hotel that they return to every year.

One of the favorite water sports on Ibiza, as well as with most of the rest of the world is surfing. Surfers come from all genders, backgrounds and cultures and many of them share a love for the environment, and particularly the earth’s waters. It is ironic that most surf boards are constructed from toxic substances, though it is also why many surfers are turning to more ecologically friendly boards. Greenlight is a company that is devoted to these surfboards and surfing supplies. Most of their boards are created from bamboo, recyclable foam and resin epoxy.

Bamboo is one of the most renewable and sustainable wood products. The company is a pioneer in creating these high quality boards with innovative technology. The bamboo glassing fabric also requires 25% less product and creates less waste. The surface of these boards can be glassed to an extent that prevents or greatly reduces the need for wax. Part of their mission is to include a service that allows surfers to shape their own, which contributes to a greater satisfaction in the waters. Many instructional videos are available for this purpose. This cutting edge company is just one of many that are working toward creating a more sustainable world with less pollution and toxic waste. It’s great to know that a popular recreational, as well as professional, activity is contributing to the greater good of the world.
