Our collaboration with Arctic Foam, a surfboard company "dedicated to providing superior polyurethane surfboard foam", has allowed us to create the worlds first ever algae-based blank surfboard. Polyurethane foam derived from algae feedstocks will make a more “ocean-friendly” surfboard blank with a reduced carbon footprint. This is a dramatic advance for polyurethane foam and will accelerate the sustainable transformation within the surf industry.

While Algenesis aims to change the face of bio-based chemicals for the planet, Arctic Foam's mission is to change the face of surfboard foams in the surf industry. Together, our partnership takes sustainability to the next level, creating a superior experience for the surf community, while also decreasing the environmental impact the product has on the earth.
