THE EARTH FAN STORY

In my 40-plus years surfing up and down this beautiful California coastline, I have yet to find a single beach that was NOT touched by our foam plastic pollution.

Aloha! My name is Anh Pham and I am the Founder and Shaper at Earth Fan Surf Company. My sustainable surfboard company provides 100% Eco-friendly, alternative wooden surf craft called Paepo'o bodyboards, from the ancient Hawaiians and Itago-Nori belly boards, from the ancient Japanese.

This revival of wood surf craft is in direct response to the increased pollution problem of toxic Polystyrene foam body boards leaching foam, resins, and chemicals directly into our World's Oceans, beaches, waterways, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This poses a direct threat to our wildlife. 

So from Tree to Sea, we invite you to join the wave of green and natural ways to enjoy surfing.

Mahalo and Aloha!

WHAT IS
HAPPENING NOW?

Tens of thousands of discarded single-use boogie boards find their way to beaches and landfills globally, leaving behind mountains of cheap Polystyrene foam, Polypropylene, Arcel, Surlyn, HDPE, Bixby, glues, plastic, inks, and dyes.

 

The CO2 footprint caused by the production of cheap foam soft-top and boogie boards is significantly devastating due to chemical discharge and transportation. 

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE WE
BUYING NOW?

Tiny polystyrene foam balls are ejected from broken boogie boards and enter the already fragile marine Eco-systems posing a direct threat to all wildlife. The seemingly irreversible plastic and foam pollution problem in the world is due to our continuous buying habits of single-use and non-biodegradable goods.

WHY IS EARTH-FAN DIFFERENT?

You'll be happy to know that all Earth Fan Surfboards are handmade using only 100% Natural and Earth-friendly ingredients; Wood and Hemp Oil. No chemicals or single-use plastics are ever used in the production of Earth Fan surfboards.

 

By protecting and waterproofing our boards with Hempseed Oil, we eliminate the need and the use of plastic mixing cups, vinyl gloves, polyester masks, respirators, tapes, squeegees, or chemicals.
