Surfboard Foam Is Usually Nasty Stuff
- "Most boards that you buy off the rack are made from polyurethane foam, one of the nastier products of the petrochemical industry. There's not much to love about this stuff. Its fumes, volatile organic compounds, are highly toxic. When dinged, it soaks up water like a foam sponge. It's not recyclable, and you can forget about any biodegradation happening anytime in the next several million years." - excerpt from the article, "Eco-Surfboards" by Anne Sasso in the magazine, Surflife for Women, http://www.surflifeforwomen.com
