Ephemeral Surfboards
- "Unfortunately, board makers and pro surfers are at the heart of the disposable surfboard phenomena. Pros want super-lightweight boards that allow them to pull off big tricks. The best way to lose weight on a board is to shape it wafer-thin and go light on the glass. This translates into a powerful rocket ship that is almost as ephemeral as the wave it rides... Surfboards used to be made to last a long time, now they are disposable. Many don't even make it through a season." - excerpt from the article "Eco-Surfboards, by Anne Sasso, in the publication, Surflife for Women, Summer 2003, pg. 26.
