ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY

At NSP we respect the environment and the world we play in. We are constantly looking for new ideas and technologies to reduce the impact on our planet as we build surf and SUP boards.

NSP was the first to incorporate shape molded SecureCell EPS blanks in our Surf and SUP manufacturing process. The result is almost zero foam dust waste.

NSP Cocomat technology is the world’s first and only Patent Pending construction that uses natural fibers from coconut husk to create a light and strong micro sandwich.

NSP uses green epoxy resin from Sicomin epoxy systems. Sicomin invests considerable resources into innovation and supplying new, environmentally enhanced green epoxy systems based on natural ingredients. NSP Cocomat boards for instance are manufactured with high performance bio epoxy resin, based on no less than 28% of plant-based organics.

Another industry leading innovation by NSP is the use of water based dye pigments in our Cocomat construction. These dyes use zero percent solvents or other toxic additives.

In acknowledgement of NSP’s sustainable efforts and years of implementing new technologies and techniques that help reduce the environmental impact, NSP has partnered with Sustainable Surf’s Ecoboard project. Today, 90% of the NSP line up meets their strict requirements, justifying the use of the highly respected Sustainable Surf Ecoboard logo.

About Harmless Harvest:

Harmless Harvest envisions a world where nutritious, clean, organic and healthy food and beverages are the standard rather than the exception; where all people involved in creating the product are treated with fairness; and the planet is treated harmlessly.

Harmless Harvest will supply NSP with coconut husks from Organic for Life - Social & Fair Trade Certificated Organic Farms, to be used in our Cocomat boards. Learn more at www.harmlessharvest.com.

In keeping with our pledge to pursue sustainable materials and manufacturing, NSP will introduce Flax Fiber Rail technology to the Cocomat series in 2019. This already eco friendly product will benefit from this highly durable reinforced fiber made from the flax seed plant, and help NSP in reducing the use of fiberglass and overall carbon footprint.
