Surf or Sink

We like the idea of seeing fitness products reused as something cool when they reach their end of life. The truth is that not every product can be easily recycled so seeing something that can’t be used for exercise but can still make a statement, and not just end up in a land fill, is truly inspiring.

One example that heard about was The SinkingSurfboard Company, which turns surfboards into sinks and washbasins. The Los Angeles-based design company manufactures and installs made-to-order vanities and sinks, and actually calls for unique designs that evoke the Southern California surf spirit. And while the company does state that “clients are encouraged to either purchase a new surfboard or use one that may have sentimental value,” we hope more are opting to use old ones that might not be as fit for the waves. In this way the old boards can get new life and the surf will be up every time the sink is used.
