Making sea sticks out of marine debris.

Spirare Surfboards have announced plans for a surfboard made from recycled ocean litter.
The company was founded by Rhode Island surfer Kevin Cunningham, who is currently running a campaign on crowd-funding website Kickstart to raise enough money to make a limited-edition run of 100.
He is looking to raise $3,500 USD by mid-April from pledges with such generousity rewarded with things like t-shirts, stickers and a surfboard itself.
Says Cunningham: "It is a dichotomy between the natural and unnatural. Natural materials form my surfboards; conversely, fragments of man-made debris such as plastic and glass are recycled and reused in the skin of the surfboard. Plastic bags woven into a strengthening cloth, plastic bottles cut up and reassembled into fins, and many other possibilities to be explored."
