For many surfers, the very act of surfing is associated with a connection to the ocean and nature itself. It\u2019s ironic, then, that the only object you need to surf\u2014the surfboard\u2014is a fragile thing made from petrochemical derivatives. For serious surfers, most boards last an average of six months to a year before they break or lose their spring. At that point, they end up either in the landfill or in the ocean itself, where they release toxic volatile organic compounds into the environment for years to come. \u201cThe current industry standard is to use non-renewable resources like polyurethane or polystyrene foam coated with polyester or epoxy resins to make boards that are ultra-lightweight, but that have a very short lifespan,\u201d says Stu Bowen, circular designer and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laminaflow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lamina Flow<\/a>, a surfboard technology company. \u201cThen, when boards break, they basically become toxic waste. That\u2019s the problem. It\u2019s kind of the elephant in the room because surfing is perceived as part of this really fit and healthy, aspirational lifestyle.\u201d <div id=\"attachment_2653\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalebonemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/sas-protect-our-waves-surfboard-graveyard.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2653\" class=\"wp-image-2653 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/sas-protect-our-waves-surfboard-graveyard-1024x730.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"456\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Whalebone Magazine<\/p><\/div> Roughly half a million surfboards are sold every year. \u201cThat means there\u2019s potentially a million surfboards being discarded annually,\u201d Bowen says. \u201cThat\u2019s a big problem that\u2019s not being talked about.\u201d The fact that surfers are simply accustomed to their boards snapping? That\u2019s a different issue\u2014another thing that few are looking at. Bowen is solving both problems by taking a new approach to surfboard creation. Lamina is building boards that perform better, last longer, and in turn have less impact on the environment.\u202f He\u2019s leveraging\u00a0Autodesk tools to bring the latest digital design, simulation, and production tools into the process. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/inthefold\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2018\/05\/IMG_4914.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2659 size-large alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4914-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a> <strong>The surfboard, redux<\/strong> The original surfboards used by Polynesians were made from natural materials like wood, since that was all that was readily available. That made surfboards durable and biodegradable\u2014but also extremely heavy. As surfing caught on globally through the 20th\u00a0century, people started to use more modern manufacturing techniques to make surfboards lighter and more agile in the water. First, that meant hollow wooden boards. Then, in the 1930s and 1940s, board builders started using the same materials and approaches used to make modern boats\u2014foams and fiberglass. Today, most surfboards are made with a polyurethane or polystyrene foam core to provide buoyancy and a longitudinal and vertical wooden \u201cstringer\u201d that runs from nose to tail to provide stiffness. Then they wrap the whole thing in a fiberglass skin and coat it in resin. The problem? When the flex of the wood exceeds what the foam and fiberglass skin can withstand, the whole board can snap. And every piece of wood is different. The other problem? Every material used except for the stringer is derived from oil. That means they\u2019re not renewable, and their journey moves in one direction: from excavation to fabrication to disposal. Bowen thinks there\u2019s a better way. <div id=\"attachment_2658\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/inthefold\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2018\/05\/IMG_4899.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2658\" class=\"wp-image-2658 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4899-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A board&#8217;s ability to flex is critical to its longevity.<\/p><\/div> <strong>Layers that flex<\/strong> Drawing inspiration from skis and snowboards that are designed to bend, so they rarely break, Lamina\u2019s approach is to engineer a core from a series of stacked layers (or laminas)\u2014no stringer required. Without the unpredictability of the wooden stringer, the board\u2019s stiffness and other physical characteristics can be precisely engineered. Between the layers are various reinforcements that are pre-tensioned during curing, giving the board more of what scientists call \u201crecoil longevity\u201d\u2014what surfers call \u201cspring-back.\u201d That refers to the ability of the materials to distribute stress uniformly\u2014which means greater resistance to breakage. In addition to boosting durability, Lamina is creating a board that can be replicated\u2014not just in shape, but in riding dynamics. That means it can be produced efficiently at scale. Today\u2019s surfboards start out as blanks which are then shaped by machine and hand-finished for specific riders and uses, which generates a lot of waste. Bowen points out that \u201cevery board is unique, first because every wooden stringer is unique, then because of the many variables during the complex and labor-intensive manufacturing process. Things like temperature, humidity, and human error play crucial roles during lamination and in the overall performance of the finished product. Professional surfers typically surf hundreds of boards each year, looking for the magic four or five they\u2019ll use in competition. That\u2019s a 20-to-1 ratio, which is totally impractical but still widely accepted in the industry.His engineered structure also delivers better performance. There are multiple forces working on a surfboard when it\u2019s in the water\u2014gravity, buoyancy, ocean energy, human weight, compression, and tension. A board\u2019s ability to respond to all these forces well is commonly known as \u201cliveliness\u201d or \u201cresponsiveness\u201d by those who ride. \u201cLamina boards are designed and engineered to provide flex, pop, and liveliness in spades,\u201d Bowen says. <strong>The business of conservation<\/strong> Bowen has been working at the intersection of business and environmentalism his entire career, including time as a marketing manager and an environmental activist at Patagonia. In 2015, he co-founded Free the Reef to help rally support and protect Australia\u2019s Great Barrier Reef. \u201cI believe that business can be the solution to many of our environmental threats,\u201d Bowen says. \u201cWe just have to work together to bring creative alternatives and solutions to market.\u201d A lifelong surfer, he began shaping in his teens. When he had the idea for the Lamina concept, he started creating prototypes by hand in his garage. He reached out to Taylor Stein, a technology evangelist at Autodesk, for advanced software engineering support, and the two started\u202fconnecting regularly from opposite sides of the globe. Taylor helped Stu get started using \u202f<a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/fusion360%E2%80%8E\">Autodesk Fusion 360<\/a>\u2014a cloud-based tool for end-to-end product development\u2014\u202fso that Stu could \u202fnot only design the board but also simulate and optimize the board\u2019s dynamics, then manage fabrication. <div id=\"attachment_2665\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/inthefold\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2018\/05\/IMG_4875.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2665\" class=\"wp-image-2665 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4875-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stu accesses a model of a Lamina board from his home in Byron Bay, Australia.<\/p><\/div> <strong>Taking design digital<\/strong> The first step was digitizing Bowen\u2019s hand-made prototypes. \u201cIf we needed to make changes to the board\u2019s internal structure, like tapering or adjusting a layer\u2019s thickness, we could do that parametrically\u2014and quickly,\u201d Stein says. Once they had the 3D model, they could perform simulations, iterate, and optimize\u2014all without making a single prototype. \u201cWe did maybe 100 different iterations over six months. If I was to do that by hand in the real world, it would\u2019ve taken me months and cost a small fortune,\u201d says Bowen. The precision of the digital tools provided powerful advantages. \u201cThe layers of foam, combined at their thickest, are 65mm. At the tail, they\u2019re 12mm, and at the nose only about 5mm,\u201d Bowen says. \u201cSo there\u2019s no room for error.\u201d The team is currently using subtractive processes to make each prototype, and they can plan each fabrication in the Fusion 360 platform. According to Stein, \u201cWe were able to digitally engineer the different tapered leaves and then take those to the shop and cut them with a three-axis CNC machine,\u201d having programmed the toolpaths in Fusion.\u201cWorking with Autodesk allowed me to digitize, optimize, and perfect the engineering by diving deep into macro-, micro-, and even nano-precision,\u201d Bowen says. And he points out that Fusion would just as easily enable them to additively manufacture these components, should they opt to do so. <div id=\"attachment_2666\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/inthefold\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2018\/05\/Lamina_Pier-9_-9622.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2666\" class=\"wp-image-2666 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Lamina_Pier-9_-9622-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taylor Stein works on a board prototype at Autodesk&#8217;s Pier 9 Workshop in San Francisco, CA.<\/p><\/div> With Bowen in Byron Bay, Australia and Stein in Autodesk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/pier-9\">Pier 9 Workshop<\/a> in San Francisco, CA, the distance\u00a0and\u00a017-hour\u00a0time difference naturally provided challenges to collaboration. But Fusion 360 is built for teams who need to collaborate, share files, and keep up to date with the latest designs, so the cloud-based platform helped to bridge the distance. \u201cStu was able to see my progress in real time as I was designing various internal parts of the board and see the tool to manufacture our first prototype,\u201d Stein says. \u201cHe could do that just on his laptop and he didn&#8217;t even have to download Fusion or know how to use it. He could just fire up the app on his phone or go into a web browser and see the work happening on the other side of the world.\u201d While the team has been using expanded and extruded polystyrene foams for rapid prototyping, they\u2019re exploring using more eco-friendly materials in the future, such as bio-foams, bio-resins, and bio-fibers. \u201cThe reinvention is less about the materials and more about the entirely new manufacturing process,\u201d Bowen says.\u00a0\u201cIt enables the designer or manufacturer to select whatever materials suit them best.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/inthefold\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2018\/05\/IMG_4891.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2661 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4891-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a> <strong>Riding the Wave<\/strong> The manufacturing approach that Lamina has developed enables them to customize and engineer for different conditions and surfer requirements. They\u2019re also starting to work with master shapers who create boards for the pros. \u201cUntil recently, surfboard shaping has been more art than science. I\u2019m using science to make it data-driven,\u201d Bowen says. \u201cI want to continually add value to the best shapers in the world to help push the boundaries of the sport, in terms of both performance and sustainability.\u201d For Stein, the collaboration with Lamina is a chance to put the Fusion 360 platform to the test. \u201cWorking with customers on the cutting edge in manufacturing like this allows us to not only test our software but push it forward,\u201d he says. Ultimately for Bowen, it\u2019s about making his favorite pastime more fun while also better for the environment, bringing together his personal and professional passions. If he\u2019s successful, he\u2019ll have made surfing more sustainable for the natural world that surfers enjoy so much. \u201cPeople often say that you can&#8217;t make sustainable surfboards perform better than normal surfboards,\u201d Bowen says. \u201cI&#8217;ve found that you can.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/laminaflow.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2668 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lamina-logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of surfing, chances are you picture an untrammeled, idyllic beach scene, with surfers coasting down waves just off the shore.
