4.11” Surfite Slab

Surfite is a unique, man-made material created from the excess resin that drips off surfboards during the glassing process. It's essentially recycled surfboard resin, hardened into colorful, layered slabs. Creation: During surfboard manufacturing, excess resin from the fiberglassing process drips onto a tray and hardens over time. Recycling: Instead of being discarded, this hardened resin is collected, cut, and polished to create surfite cabochons. Appearance: Surfite displays a range of colors and patterns, often with distinct layers and sometimes including air bubbles or fractures due to the curing process. Use: The polished surfite is used to create a variety of jewelry pieces, such as earrings, necklaces, pendants, and rings. . Sustainability: Surfite is an example of upcycling, turning waste material into a beautiful and valuable product.
