The Natural cork foamy by Predn Surf Co
The natural cork foamy is our answer to a better 'go to' soft top surfboard. Not only is it made of much nicer things. Cork, real wood veneer base, recycled or biomass eps, flax and bio epoxies. It also rides much better than most foamy's (dare we say, maybe all...)
The cork wrap allows for not only a wax free ride, but feels super warm and comfortable under your feet. Instead of waxing these boards (which of course you can if want) we recommend you give them a rinse off with fresh water whenever possible, and try to make sure to do so if not in use for a while. The boards go against everything we have got used to with board care and maintenance. These actually (like us) love a bit of sunshine (also like us) not too much. But they are safe to be left in the heat and sunshine to dry out and you won't melt wax all over your car seats if you do : )
Currently taking pre orders for the 6 Foot, 7 Foot and 8 Foot sizes. First batch are being sold at this special introductory price.

How is an eco surfboard built?
What is a sustainable surfboard?
Here is what we do...
WOOD VENEERS, FLAX AND CORK We use natural fibre reinforcements with modern techniques to get the structure, flex and longevity out of our boards. The rusk is also a great hypoallergenic option.
CORE All of our constructions use a recycled expanded polystyrene or biomass expanded polystyrene (EPS) core. Unlike traditional EPS ours are made from biomass taken from the waste of food production, like sticks and husks after everything useful has been taken. Which massively reduces our use of fossil fuels in the boards. Find more info on the foam here.
GLASS AND EPOXY We glass our boards with high quality high bio content epoxies, which is less harmful, much stronger and longer lasting than traditional resins. We use Resin Research epoxies as they are super high quality with great properties and they are always striving to improve on sustainability and quality. Always with an increasing bio content.
Our use of biomass blanks and natural fibres to replace glass and resins, means our boards are some of the most sustainable boards available. Made with an extremely low percentage of crude oil.
We even hand-make our leash plugs using Cornish applewood and a stainless steel pin, which ages beautifully without losing its integrity. All our boards are hand-built with love and pride in our wind-powered workshop in Cornwall.
Contact us today to talk about your perfect next board.
Buying from us means you are buying directly from the shaper and helps us to keep our prices down. You are also doing your bit to change the system of board manufacturing, for the better. Our boards take twice the time to build as a standard one and the quality shows it. Almost all of our materials now come from the UK (working on the rest) so our boards have done 0 zero miles when you receive them and you get a top quality service and product at the end. Support small business.
Waiting times currently at about 8-16 weeks. We are still taking orders but waiting times are long at the moment. We are currently having a big revamp of the website and workshop.
Super lightweight and sustainable construction. Hand crafted in North Cornwall.
