In pursuit of becoming an extremely carbon positive company, Airush looked within, finding the areas within the company that have the largest carbon footprint. When speaking with C. Thomson (personal communication July 21, 2018) from Airush she mentioned “Our surfboards have one of the highest emissions out of all our products” adding that “ this is due to the high energy consumption required when producing the boards”.

Thomson, personal communication July 21, 2018). This was done through combinations of implementing EPS cores and Bio-Resins instead of the usual petroleum-based counterparts which are toxic to the environment (Shultz, 2009; Woody, 2012; Borne, 2017). As a result, a new board was created; one that has a much lower impact on the environment and maintains the same level of quality and performance customers would expect.
