The Deakin-JUCSURF Sustainable Surfboard Design Challenge involved a fully recycled PET foam core created from recycled water bottles. This type of foam has not been used in surfing before. It could significantly impact the surfing industry as each surfboard would be created from recycled bottles and easily recyclable if broken. JUCSURF's vision is to have a fully recyclable board at the end of life that fulfils functional performance requirements and can be designed and customised to the user's particular needs. This proposed challenge allowed the students to study and address sustainable product development and functional performance through a relatable problem. This team investigated a beginner to intermediate board design; the team fabricated a 1:1 scale prototype board and tested their output as part of their pitch to the challenge partner. The contributors team were awarded first prize as the challenge winning team and received the opportunity to have their design fabricated out of PET and recyclable carbon fibre by JUCSURF. Their final surfboard prototype is accompanying this exhibit.Publication classification
