Meet the lightest and most advanced snowboard ever produced. The K2 Zero Snowboard ($700) has been designed from the ground up to be the board of choice for the unrelenting performance seekers and the environmentally conscious alike. With lightweight precision, powerful response and buttery smooth performance in an entirely new package. Using K2′s feather light Tek Style topsheet, silicone-printing and touches of bamboo, the zero is super minimal and eco conscious from top to bottom.
We are committed to protect our environment to keep enjoying it. Such inventions like BioDegradeable Fishing Line ($14) makes this happens. Permitting wildlife to easily break free should if an accidental entanglement occurs (biodegrades in the environment in five years). The concept comes from the company that made medical sutures – the stitches that dissolve in the human body after surgery. Available in 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 lb test, with larger Salt water sizes in the works.
We are committed to improving the sports performance with the latest technology, but sometimes we want something that just looks cool. Not really, the Makboard Clear Snowboards ($300) are made of 100% recyclable polycarbonate from the material (Bayer Makrolon) used in jet fighter canopies, bulletproof windows, and other high performance applications. You’ll have to ride it to believe you get the same feeling of surfing.
The new alternative for the energy drinks fans designed to increase concentration and focus, with over two years in research, Brain Toniq ($30+) is the first true botanical-based non-caffeinated drink. Instead combining ingredients like Choline, Eleutherococcus, Rhodiola Rosea Extract, DMAE and Blue Green Algae. With a natural flavor of orange/grapefruit/lemon extract, the drink can will alleviate brain fog in a healthy way.
Save the backcountry, so you can shred it. The award winning Salomon Sick Stick ($600) construction is made of a patented bamboo construction process. In each board, 400 grams of bamboo replace 300 grams of plastic, 100 grams of resin and 200 grams of fibreglass. The Sick Stick comes in a cotton-bamboo knit bag instead of a PVC sleeve, while the hangtags are printed on recycled paper instead of coated stickers.
The production of the eco-friendly materials for the Body Glove Eco Surf Shirt ($90) only consumes 1/10th the amount of energy normally used in the manufacturing of standard petroleum based wetsuits. Made from Body Glove’s signature, eco-friendly, non-petroleum Bio Stretch rubber and Eco Flex exterior.
