Surfboards as an art form is nowt new, but a new online auction - Cutting Edge Surfboard Art for Surfers Against Sewage - has taken the trend a step further, with some help from Brit Pack famous names like Tracy Emin and Gavin Turk, plus the legend Paul McCartney.

But this ain't your usual consumer culture obsessed, carbon munching art show; these are some of the most eco friendly boards in the country - made with Homeblown Biofoam, glassed in Eco-comp UV Resins with Biofoam blanks and Eco resins. Plus, all1 4 artists created their work entirely for free, so the monies raised from their sale goes straight to the SAS for future campaigns - from litter picking, pollution fighting to protecting ocean species.

SAS Board Director, Hugo Tagholm says: “SAS campaigns aren’t just about sewage and aren’t just for surfers – they encompass much more, including marine litter with the recent award-winning Return to Offender initiative. Drawing Boards uses the latest in eco-surfboard technology, highlighting sustainable materials, and hopefully influencing surfers around the world into making the greener choices when it comes to surfing equipment.

Consumption of unsustainable, un-recyclable products is a dead end that often stops in the ocean. Millions of tonnes of plastics and other waste materials make their way into our seas each year and SAS are campaigning hard to make sure that the companies responsible for this marine litter take additional steps to ensure this is a dying trend”.
