From plant to board
Engineered from Nature.
Most boards start at a refinery. Ours starts in a field — the Agave 10's structural core is grown on a Kenyan sisal agave estate, a by-product transformed into a high-performance board.

What if there was a better way?
Cleaner manufacturing. Fewer emissions. A lighter footprint. A future that makes sense. This search led us to discover a remarkable material — and a passionate collective of companies who share our belief in this mission.
Agave Stem Core
An innovative natural core.
The Agave 10 is built around an innovative natural core. Each board incorporates 46 reclaimed Agave stems with precision-engineered internal chambers that create sealed air pockets throughout the board. This natural cellular structure delivers a high-performance board that is lighter, stronger and more responsive. Board blanks are harvested in Kenya — 100% natural, zero irrigation, zero pesticides, responsibly crafted, biodegradable and compostable.
The Case for Inventive Re-Use
Wine corks, reborn as deck pads.
The deck pads are crafted from recycled wine corks by ReCORK — now re-imagined as precision-cut deck pads for the water sports industry. Natural benefits: superior comfort, exceptional grip, excellent shock absorption, naturally temperature regulating.
Shaping a Sustainable Water Sports Industry
Cutting-edge, and hand-finished.
From shaping the board through to crafting and installing timber fittings, then painting and sealing — every stage is handled by Agave shaping specialists Eco Surf Supply, who combine cutting-edge CNC technologies with traditional handcrafting skills. Active drivers of change in the European surf industry.
Making a conventional 10 ft board can release as much carbon as three to five trees absorb in twenty years. The Agave 10 was built to do the opposite — to store carbon, not spend it.
Each Agave 10 instead locks in roughly 368 kg of stored carbon — more than double a standard shortboard blank.
Lower carbon than a conventional foam board — 372–547 kg CO₂ avoided per board (71.39%, Grow Blanks LCA).
Biodegradable shaping waste — compostable, with no toxic dust and nothing sent to landfill.
Water used in manufacturing. Zero irrigation and zero pesticides in cultivation.
