Modern surfboard manufacturing techniques involve polyurethane foam production and fiber-glassing, processes that pose environmental and health risks. The surfboards produced are expensive, easily damaged, and have a short lifespan. 9:Fish Surfboards wishes to eliminate these drawbacks by designing a better surfboard. With a focus on material selection, a team of HMC students redesigned the manufacturing process to use more durable, recyclable surfboard components. The result of their work is a new surfboard that seeks to revolutionize the surfing industry.
