Skateboards made from recycled material


Looks like there's more you can do with cornstalks than make scarecrows or corn husk dolls. Stalk It™ found a way to make skateboards using recycled cornstalks. Their longboards are manufactured out of CornBoard™, a green composite that uses corn husks and stalks remaining in a field after the corn is harvested. Thus providing a renewable, earth friendly alternative to wood.

Question performance? No need, Stalk It™ longboards are top-of-the-line performance skate boards. They claim to be endorsed by professional skater, Christian Hosoi and pro surfers Alana Blanchard and Bobby Martinez. The company even donates a portion of sales to military families.

Cornstalks don't excite you? How about Bamboo? Loaded longboards are made of bamboo and Arbor uses recycled glass on most of its decks yielding not only a greener option but also better performance. All sealers are water based.

Please wear your helmets, Mom.
