THE BOARD WITH THE ECO FRIENDLIEST MATERIALS

Eco friendly Flax / Cork  and Wood Veneeer layup with FSC sourced Wood  from sustainable forestry Built entirely without oil based PVC Uses Sicomin’s GreenPoxy® Bio Resin to coat and laminate

OUR OCEAN MINDED SPIRIT IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND OUR PASSION TO CREATE AND INNOVATE. COMPLEMENTED BY OUR ETHOS OF ‘PROTECTING WHAT YOU LOVE,’ WE CELEBRATE THE CHALLENGES WE FACE EACH DAY TO COME UP WITH  NEW WAYS TO COMBINE BOTH

Acknowledging the part we play in creating a cleaner, greener environment we work hard to source  ethical and raw materials to utilise in the production, packaging and distribution of our products. Our Fly Eco Edition boards – available in 9'6" & 10'6" lengths – are a premium product with a unique layup of flax, cork and wood – and show that we are already one step closer to accomplishing an eco-friendly future.

Keep it Green

Green is the prime colour of nature and we intend to do everything we can to keep it that way. As we evolve our brand and create new products, our primary goal is to reduce the ecological impact on the environment by using ethically sourced materials. Each year significant gains are made, from using ozone-free foam cores and coloured resins vs spray paints, through to smart packaging and audited facilities. We embrace the challenges ahead and our Fly Eco Edition is a huge step in the right direction.

PRODUCT MANAGER DANIEL AEBERLI ABOUT THE FLY ECO

 

“The Fly Eco is at the forefront of many, many steps already happening behind the scenes at Fanatic on our sustainability program. It represents a significant move in the right direction, and was achieved by looking at things in an entirely different way. Rather than taking a performance construction and trying to make it more eco-friendly, we went the whole distance and started with an eco-friendly construction and then developed its performance. The internal component of the Gecko Eco is made of closed cell ozone free EPS blanks. We then add a layer of cork instead of PVC onto the deck, and as an alternative to Carbon fibre: Flax fibres are woven together to create a mesh material, which is then laid over the cork – giving the fine finish that can be seen on the deck of the board. For the base we’ve replaced PVC with an FSC certified wood veneer, sourced from responsible forestry. This veneer is what gives the Fly Eco its visually striking natural matt finish. The entire board is coated and laminated using sustainable Bio Resin, a product we’re using throughout the entire Fanatic range.”
