The surfboard, reinvented

An organic alternative to plastic shouldn’t be fun for Mother Nature only, right? Thank You, karuun® surfboard!​

Riding the sustainability wave​
With its exciting range of applications, karuun® has already inspired numerous companies around the world to rethink how they use plastics. One of the best-known surfboard brands has also set out for new shores with our nature tech material. karuun® is light and robust – ideal for the rigorous demands of a surfboard. The distinctive material aesthetics and extreme formability make karuun® an excellent choice for truly unique designs.​

Incidentally, rattan needs the biodiversity of primary rainforests to grow; it cannot thrive in a monoculture and cannot be harvested by machine. The demand for this natural product therefore contributes to forest protection. One place where rattan is cultivated for karuun® is the Mentawai islands. karuun® surfboards make a vital contribution to preserving this super popular surf spot, while also securing long-term income for the island population since the rattan is harvested traditionally by hand. Shaka!
