Bosiny is the creation of Alex King and John Railton, two friends with a passion for surfing, design and a shared vision for sustainable, performance surf craft that protect the oceans we love.
Our guiding principles? Uncompromising Performance, and Sustainability through Innovation.
First and foremost, a surfboard needs to work. We saw no point in making an eco surfboard that could not match the weight, flex and snap of a high performance shape. That’s the Uncompromising Performance part.
Secondly, for a board to be truly sustainable, it not only needs to be built sustainably using sustainable materials - it needs to last a lifetime. So that was the kind of sustainability through innovation we set out to do, and we achieved it. Our boards perform as well as traditional PU/EPS shapes, but they are far, far stronger – and more durable.
