A Closer Look at Surfboard Resin: How Badfish is Making a Difference

Surfite rings? What's that! Surfite is one of our sickest collections!! Our founder, Kasey is a lifelong surfer and has always been concerned about our ocean's health. She has been surrounded by amazing surfboard shapers and has always been interested in the process that goes behind making boards. She saw the potential in the waste that is created in the glassing process that makes surfboards colorful and waterproof. When she visited her shaper friend Justin Perry's board shaping studio, She saw the waste that was left and typically thrown out in all of its beauty. She grabbed 60 pounds of it and started working! She started the stone shaping process in her garage in New Jersey. Now, she's recycled 100 pounds and from multiple different shapers around the world. The reason why we badfish love surfite so much is because of how unique each piece is. Each piece is a different section, full of different drips and colors. But, most importantly, were not throwing out this dense material that is extremely hard to break down anymore, we are giving garbage a purpose!
