Ecosurfshop: for our planet and oceans

Sustainability preserves the natural regenerative capacity of our ecosystems and living organisms. A conscious approach to consumption helps us safeguard the planet and the place we surfers so much love - our oceans. A sustainable approach to textile production, especially clothing made from recycled materials, eco wetsuits and wooden surfboards ensures that natural and human resources are treated with respect and fairness.

What does sustainability mean?

Put simply, sustainability means that no more resources may be consumed than can grow back or regenerate. The natural regenerative capacity of a system must be maintained. In order for future generations to have sufficient resources at their disposal, we have to treat them with care today. In the ideal case, sustainability takes into consideration ecological, economic and social factors. It takes into account the cultivation of raw materials, processing, production and the fair treatment of employees.

Sustainability: Wooden Surfboards & Accessories from Kun_tiqi

Most surfboards today are made out of foam containing harmful materials such as petroleum, polyurethane and polystyrene. Since the closure of "Clark Foam", the largest manufacturer of Surfboard Blanks, by the California environmental authorities in 2005, more and more environmentally conscious surfers have been looking for an alternative.

Kun_tiqi manufactures sustainable high quality balsa wooden surfboards

The company thus offers an environmentally friendly, classy, stylish and above all durable alternative to conventional epoxy and polyester surfboards. 

The shapers work with very light balsa wood using ecological resin, a unique biodegradable raw material which is compostable after use, does not emit any toxins and is an excellent environmentally friendly method for shaping blanks for surfers. 

Kun_tiqi also has sustainable apparel such as T-shirts, hoodies and other environmentally friendly accessories such as recycled surfboard leashes on offer.
