RETO – The Recycled Skateboard Surfboard

Negli ultimi tempi abbiamo visto accessori, mobili, e persino opere d’arte fatte con vecchie tavole da skateboards ma la tavolta da surf proprio ci mancava.

Cosa ancor più originale è che l’idea venga da un rider di motocross finlandese di nome Björn Holm:

Dating back to December, 2011, Björn Holm has been hard at work collecting broken skateboards from friends, relatives, and fellow skaters in his community. His mission: a daunting DIY project of building a 6’4″ fish made exclusively from old skateboards. This is not something you’d expect from a former professional motocross rider from Finland. But with studies in furniture design and an interest in board building, he utilized these skills to piece together a 20 pound, hollow surfboard out of material (skateboards) that essentially have no straight lines. The result: a colorful, 100% recycled surfboard. Enjoy Björn’s story…

E pare che funzioni anche! A questo punto se qualcuno ha voglia di tentare il colpaccio realizzando una tavola da skate con vecchie tavole da surf, sappia che noi supportiamo il progetto.
