Dish Surfboards was founded in May 2024 by TWO college friends with the vision of making surfboards the right way. Tired of paying outrageous prices for boards that would end up as a chemical mess in the local landfill in 1-2 years, they set out on their own to create an alternative to inferior and overpriced surfboards. While working as a dishwasher at a vineyard, Kyle got access to more than a thousand used wine corks. From these corks and recycled wood planks, he created Dish's first board: the Vino.
After receiving a research grant from Northeastern University, we have spent the last year developing high-performance boards from sustainable materials. While we currently use 100% recyclable EPS foam and Entropy bio-resin, we are transitioning to bio-based foam, continuing our strides towards a greener future for the surf industry.
But this journey is about more than just making surfboards.
We believe that it is imperative to not only create products with minimal environmental impact but also support initiatives that take action to ensure a better future for all. This is why we promise to donate 25% of Profits to The Nature Conservancy, as well as 25% of profits to THEIRWorld, a charity dedicated to providing education to marginalized youth around the world. Every Dollar for Dish means a Dollar towards a brighter tomorrow.
it’s more than surfing.
