Paul McCartney may be a whole lot older these days to go surfboarding but that does not mean he cannot design them. Apparently there is a surfboard designed by Sir Paul McCartney that is being auctioned in aid of environmental charity Surfers Against Sewage.

But make no mistake about it. This green surfboard can be used in any recreational water facility. So if you are not in the beaches, here is a surfboard you can take anywhere you wish to enjoy.

All the boards are made out eco-friendly foam and 50% organic material.

People who love to go surfing are bound to love these soy-based surfboards launched by Jeff Bushman and Kyle Bernhardt. Surfboarding is something familiar to most especially when Hawaii is mentioned and while we do have the standard surfboards in the market, trying to mess around with the materials using the sustainable and ideal eco-friendly resources would something be different when you try to surf the great oceans of Hawaii.

This summer Jeff Bushman and Kyle Bernhardt launched the Country Feeling Surfboards line, which uses “soy- and sugar-based foams, plant-based and solar-activated resins, and hemp, silk, and bamboo cloth,” according to their press release. As Bernhardt explained in a phone interview last night, he and his partner, both originally from California, had been “messing around with the stuff” for almost two years before they decided to create their line of boards built from alternative materials.

For sure, surfers could care less about the materials used on their boards but if you could do it without spoiling the fun you have riding the waves then why not?
