Kelly Slater Designs Eco Traction Pad - made from Algae!
Slater Designs collaborated with BLOOM Foam to develop the most eco-friendly traction pad on the market today!
This incredible and revolutionary Bloom Foam is made by pumping dangerous algae blooms, often found growing out of control on lakes or rivers. They pump the algae water through filters, extracting the material to make their wonderful foam and thereby seriously helping the environment.
"BLOOM is the world’s first plant-based performance-driven foam formulated with algae biomass. Our algae is a renewable feedstock, sourced from lakes and ponds at high risk of algal bloom, and reduces our dependence on petroleum, a non-renewable resource.
Algae’s natural thermoplastic qualities allow BLOOM to meet, and in some cases exceed performance characteristics of conventional closed-cell flexible foam, resulting in improved tear strength and elongation, greater flexibility, and more. BLOOM foams deliver striking performance values, which make them drop-in replacements for conventional foams."

Mark Price of the eco conscious surfboard company Firewire gave an excellent talk to an audience of students in a Los Angeles auditorium about sustainability in the surfboard industry, and a lot more; such as the future of fin design, the production steps to building a Firewire surfboard and what may be next for the WSL.
So whether you are looking for a new surfboard, snow board or whatever your hobby, please look for the most eco friendly products you can find. They may sometimes cost a little more but they are built with a great deal more care and love and will often greatly outlast their non ecological counterparts which means great savings or you and the environment.
