Großartige Sache, die gleich 2 der schönsten Sportarten miteinander verbindet: Björn Holm macht aus alten, defekten und ausgemusterten Skateboards … neue Surfboards! Dabei kommt der Typ eigentlich vom professionellen Motocross-Riding, mit seiner Ausbildung zum Möbeldesigner und seinem persönlichen Interesse am Bauen von Boards kann er seine Skillz dennoch nutzvoll einbringen. Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen – most dope:

„Dating back to December, 2011, Björn Holm has been hard at work collecting broken skateboards from friends, relatives, and fellow skaters in his community. His mission: a daunting DIY project of building a 6’4″ fish made exclusively from old skateboards. This is not something you’d expect from a former professional motocross rider from Finland. But with studies in furniture design and an interest in board building, he utilized these skills to piece together a 20 pound, hollow surfboard out of material (skateboards) that essentially have no straight lines. The result: a colorful, 100% recycled surfboard.“
