Sustainable Wooden Paddle Boards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Jarvis Boards are Made with Recycled and Reclaimed Lumber

— March 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Jarvis paddle boards opt for an authentic and vintage styling with a wooden design made from recycled material and reclaimed lumber by designer Tony Smith. The boards are built for long-lasting use while simultaneously providing an environmentally friendly design and make.

Diverging from traditional plastic models, the Jarvis boards opt for a wooden finish that surrounds a recycled foam centre. Some styles even feature luxurious leather detailing coupled with designs of stars made with dark wood stain. The reclaimed wood is buoyant and light adding a stylish grained design that is natural and raw, without compromising the speed or utility of the water equipment. Each of the Jarvis boards are handcrafted and can be used for stand up or sitting down paddle boarding, riding waves or other similar water activities.
