A group of 6 filmmakers, and friends went on a mission to create an inspirational story about how surfers can contribute to saving the planet.
Follow along as shooter and editor, Erik Derman tells the story of few of these individuals that are making a difference.
Brothers, Desi and Rey Banatao of Entropy Resins are developers of Super Sap, a bio-based epoxy resin that replaces the extremely toxic resins that are used to glass most surfboards. Not only are the traditional resins bad for the environment but they are extremely hazardous to work with.
Jake Moss of Eco-Flex, has been solely focused for the last four years on refining and perfecting the process in which more environmentally materials are used to make surfboards. As a shaper, Jake knows how important it is to have materials that are not only better for the planet but also better for the board.
Thank you for joining Eco-Flex on this journey towards a 100% recyclable surfboard. We’re excited about what the future holds and look forward to working with you to make it happen.
– Erik Derman
The Eco-Flex process uses recycled blanks from Marko Foam and Super Sap from Entropy Resin in a Gold-Standard, third party certified, sustainable workshop environment and associated sustainable business practices, a domestic supply chain to produce boards made up of a a minimum of 60% plant-based and recycled waste stream materials. The end result produces surfboards that are 75% cleaner, 30 % lighter and last twice as long as traditional PU constructed surfboards.
