Is This Surfboard Unbreakable? | The Joyride Earth Tech ‘Pool Ninja’

I’ve mentioned before that my brain is subconsciously skeptical of “sustainable” products, which is to say I assume things marketed as “eco”, “recycled”, or any other enviro-platitude will perform inherently worse than its petroleum-based equivalent (shitty, I know, but we can’t control our thoughts).
So naturally, I wanted to see if these Earth Tech boards actually worked. And, as Ryan claimed, if they were more resilient than your average surfcraft.

Gotta say there was never a moment the board actually looked fun to ride

[@surfcoach]

Was thinking the same thing. No "magic" moment. Just steady going.

[@Eventual-Visitor]

The dude is probably too light weight for that board.

[@derekjaeger5592]

Michael gave a kind review to this board. This board was not for him. Especially after his edit, and still bonking. He usually destroys these types of waves.

[@Luis-tj9nu]

RecycABLE ≠ recycled ≠ eco friendly

[@himura9031]

Love to see you shred and thoughts libtech rocket redux as another “eco alternative”

[@danmccarthy738]

Such a fun board, highly recommend

[@JPIV808]

Rocket redux is a great board. Lib tech is a coin flip whether it's gonna last or crack all over the place. Mine got tail cancer and cracked in spots that wouldn't barely leave a pressure within weeks. If you want the redux go with c4

[@Spance-er]

I haven't had any issues with "cracks" in libs personally and I've had a bunch. They have some good durable travel boards, especially that rocket, but they do feel on the heavy side.

[@HerbieFortyNine]

Define eco friendly? How about a in depth article on board building materials and their true carbon footprint.

[@beansalad6287]

Board looking a bit stubborn

[@SterlingSigurdsen]

Typical alt style board design. They never really do what you think you want them to do. It’s like you have to completely change your style of surfing.

[@sumatran]

I think that was an accurate self-assessment of your performance. It's definitely not the best you've looked on a test board, but I'm still interested in this technology!

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

More awesomeness yes more please...

[@jeffkolodny]

Try an old Santa Cruz gdeck. Og step deck short board. 5’5”. Best application of this idea ever! They need to bring this board back.

[@Xainfinen]

Arghh can't find the second song "Drums for desert" anywhere!

[@patefutch6168]

The tail is intense but I’d like to give it a going over for sure

[@juanpaguerrero613]

I believe this board was meant for a not that technical surf-more like Mikey February style

[@JamesJrParks-jp9nb]

I like watching this guy cuz he’s not freakishly good meaning I can relate

[@DownhillHawaii]

He’s pretty damn good this board just sucks

[@patefutch6168]

That things got some flex!!!

[@hunterdavis3003]

I bought a weird short and stumpy board like this from Craigslist last spring and I can’t fuckin ride the damn thing

[@jstacishin]

yea that board looked difficult for him

[@OceanManTW]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@bypshshx6536]

This guy shreds

[@shamstalent]

[@joshhromin58]

[@Louis-xy8kk]

*People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin*

[@angelaanita3577]

Investing in cryptocurrency is one of the best chance

[@bryanjoe551]

Stocks are good crypto is better

[@stockmoe6887]

That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Edward Martin's

[@tylerdiaz5550]

His success stories are everywhere 😱

[@elonmuskrewind3100]

Trading crypto with Expert Edward Martin's has being a game changer for me

[@eliasaguirre1227]

what board is patt riding

[@warmfish5732]

He rides for mencel

[@jaredeygabroad]

What is Pat’s last name?

[@studleytrey]

@@jaredeygabroad Schmidt

[@MattiaDongili]

I thought I'd seen this review before... Like a year ago or so. Hmmm.

[@jstacishin]

thats an artifical non ecological place anyway. That whole place is petroleum based even the fake little animals kids riding on

[@irvingalarcon6654]
