sustain ability

At NSP we respect the environment and the world we play in. We are constantly looking for new ideas and technologies to reduce the impact on our planet as we build surf and SUP boards:

SecureCell EPS cores eliminate waste

NSP was the first to incorporate shape molded SecureCell EPS blanks in our Surf, Foil and SUP manufacturing process. Compared to conventional surfboard shaping, the results is almost zero waste of foam dust.

Deckpads from recycled EVA

To minimize the ecological impact of our production processes, NSP collects the EVA scraps from our cutting floors and recycles them into aftermarket deckpads. Extremely durable, these thermoformed deckpads will outlast conventional EVA, while reducing waste in our landfills.

Bio-friendly GreenPoxy® by Sicomin

NSP uses GreenPoxy® resin by Sicomin Systems. Sicomin is a company investing considerable resources into innovation and the distribution of GreenPoxy® systems which are based on natural ingredients and more environment friendly. NSP CocoMat boards for instance, are manufactured with high-performance bio epoxy resin, based on no less than 28% of plant-based organics.

Water-based dye pigments with 0% solvents

Another industry leading innovation by NSP is the use of water based dye pigments in our Cocomat construction. These dyes use zero percent solvents or other toxic additives.

Sustainable Surf certification

In acknowledgement of NSP’s sustainable efforts and years of implementing new technologies and techniques that help reduce the environmental impact, NSP has partnered with Sustainable Surf’s Ecoboard project. Today, 90% of the NSP line up meets their strict requirements, justifying the use of the highly respected Sustainable Surf Ecoboard logo.

Sustainable Surf is a California-based non-profit charity organization focused on transforming surf culture into a powerful force for protecting the ocean playground.

CocoFlax Technology

NSP CocoMat technology is the world’s first and only Patent Pending construction that uses natural fibers from coconut husk to create a light and strong micro sandwich.

NSP introduced Flax Fiber Rail technology to the CocoMat series in 2019. This eco-friendly product benefits from this highly durable reinforced fiber made from the flax seed plant, and helps NSP in reducing the use of fiberglass and overall carbon footprint.

Harmless Harvest

Harmless Harvest supplies NSP with coconut husks from Organic for Life - Social & Fair Trade Certificated Organic Farms, which is used in all CocoMat and Cocoflax boards.

Harmless Harvest envisions a world where nutritious, clean, organic and healthy food and beverages are the standard rather than the exception; where all people involved in creating the product are treated with fairness; and the planet is treated harmlessly.
