Stop press!  Stop world!  Seaweed has once again potentially answers our problems of having to rely on plastic and the dirty oil based industries.  Charlie Cadin, a student and surfer from Jersey has invented and made the worlds first ever biodegradable surfboard, made from seaweed.  

Surfboards are traditionally made from a combination of plastic based polyurethane, fibre glass and resins.  Whilst there has been some advances to create 'greener' surfboards they still remain a huge toxic piece of modern day sports equipment.  They break easily and can't be recycled into anything really other than another surfboard.  For surfers this has been a huge problem which most would really like to solve, and Charlie Cadin may well have achieved it. 

Listen to our chat about how Charlie turns commonly found sea lettuce into a surfboard, it's incredible stuff.
