Sustainable Bamboo Veneer

Adds natural strength, enhanced durability, and a beautiful, authentic aesthetic to your deck. Bamboo reduces the need for extra fiberglass, further lowering environmental impact.

Our Commitment to Ocean Conservation

The ocean is our playground, our muse, and our passion. Protecting it is not just a responsibility; it's an inherent part of who we are at Lawrence B Primak. We believe that crafting exceptional surfboards goes hand-in-hand with being stewards of the marine environment.

  • Responsible Studio Practices: We meticulously manage our workshop to minimize waste. This includes careful handling and disposal of foam dust, responsible chemical waste management, and actively reducing single-use plastics in our daily operations.

  • Local Impact: We actively seek partnerships with local beach cleanup initiatives and consider direct donations to ocean conservation charities, reinforcing our dedication to the South Florida coastline we call home.

Eco-Board Questions

Not at all! We carefully select materials that meet or exceed the performance of traditional ones. A board crafted with our recycled EPS and plant-based bio-resin is still a high-performance machine, delivering the responsiveness and feel you seek in a custom shape.

Some sustainable materials can have a slightly higher cost due to specialized manufacturing and supply chains. However, we're dedicated to finding solutions that align with both your budget and your environmental values, ensuring a transparent process from start to finish.

Remarkably durable! Materials like flax cloth and bamboo veneer actually enhance the structural integrity and longevity of your board. Our eco-friendly options are built to withstand the waves and last for seasons to come, just like any other high-quality custom board.
