Spirare Surfboards: Surfboards Constructed of Ocean Garbage

The ocean is amass with litter, with both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans containing garbage gyres. Spirare Surfboards has a unique solution of making surfboards from ocean garbage. Treehugger explains:

Cunningham's idea is to first produce a limited series of boards made from reclaimed debris that will be featured in galleries around the country, to be followed by a line of 100 boards that will be sold as custom orders. But before any trash can become the eco-conscious surfer's dream board, Cunningham needs some financial support.

To that end, he has started a Kickstart campaign, looking for $3,500 by mid-April (he's about halfway there). And pledges come with rewards, from Spirare t-shirts, stickers and tote bags to a surfboard itself (for the grand $2,000 pledge).
