I love the concept of utilizing Mushrooms as a material source for making surfboards! There are so many benefits to this eco-friendly business model. Let's take a quick trip down mushroom lane and learn a little about this game changer...
The Most Environmentally-Friendly Surfboard on the Planet
When two southern California surfers set out to create a truly environmentally friendly surfboard, they had no idea it would lead them to fungus. But several years and many prototypes later, they were riding waves on a mushroom board they grew themselves. Watch to see how this one-of-a-kind board made it all the way from their homegrown workshop to the Surfing Heritage Center in San Clemente, where it now rests alongside other iconic and legendary boards.

Have you ever wondered how it is to surf the north Atlantic? Norwaves is a movie about one of the best surf spots in Scandinavia.
"Three hundred and fifty kilometres north of Bergen, at the extreme west of the Stadtlandet peninsula, lies Hoddevik. One of the best surfing spots in Norway.
Rain patters on the shed’s plastic roof. Wind beats roughly against the old wooden walls. I can feel the forces of nature and wonder whether coming here was such a good idea”.

Located north of the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten archipelago is known for its rugged beauty. Artists have long drawn inspiration from these islands, which even makes appearances in the work of Jules Verne. Set against a backdrop of stark mountains and rugged coastline, the colored cabins are as iconic as the dried fish that for so long underpinned the island’s economy.
Dead cod, a dangerous whirlpool, jagged mountains and a fierce weather may not amount to a tempting proposition, but look more closely and the Lofotens really do seem to offer a little corner of heaven on earth.
