WYVE is born out of the observation that while 80% of surfers are keen on adopting sustainable consumption habits, surfboards are extremely polluting and the industry has seen little innovation over last 60 years.
As a team of surfers and tech-lover engineers, we’ve decided to create a whole new way of producing and distributing surfboards. By using advanced technologies, we build high-performance sustainable surfboards that perfectly match surfers’ expectations and values. And cherry-on-the-top, our board comes with a completely unique, transparent design.
Our users are our priority, we are building a seamless purchasing experience and are really eager to engage with the progressive and ambitious surfing community!
The HEXA Surfboard is the first 3D printed board developed by WYVE. Each HEXA Surfboard is unique and tailor-made for your surfing needs. It is a sustainable surfboard that makes no compromise with high performance.
Its unique transparent design will make you feel even more connected to the ocean you’re riding on. We use the most advanced technologies to optimize its fit to your needs and dreams.

A HEXA Surfboard is made out of 3 components:
-Eco-responsible plastic for the internal structure of our board.
We are currently using corn-starch based plastic. We are currently developing a process to upcycle recycled plastic bottles.
-Bio-based Epoxy resin for the shine and water resistance of the board. Our resin is Made in France, and has the Sustainable Surf Gold level.
-Fiberglass or vegetal fibers (like linen fibers) to strengthen the coating of our surfboard and to enable the transparency of it.
Feel free to look at our explanatory diagram.
Traditional surfboards are extremely polluting. They are 95% comprised of petrochemical materials. They are not recyclable, not durable and produce more than 6 kg of toxic waste per board.
The materials used to make a surfboard travel more than 10 000 km before it reaches the consumer. The numerous intermediaries along the supply chain significantly add to the ecological impact of the boards.
At HEXA Surfboard, we totally rethink the manufacturing process and the distribution of surfboards by limiting our supplier to bio-plastic sourcing, and by being a direct-to-consumer brand.
According to our life cycle analysis, each HEXA Surfboard sold corresponds to:
- 75 recycled and valorised plastic bottles
- 5 kg of carcinogenic toxic waste avoided
- 30 kg CO2-equivalent saved
- 9000 km of product transportation not travelled
For now we offer any surfboards shape below 7 feet.
Depending on your answer to our customization form, we will find the perfect board that matches your needs. Performance shortboards, retro-fish, grovelers, wombat, ... let's find out what your perfect board is!
Stay tuned for we are thinking to soon offer new shapes like longboards and malibus.
We are developing a process to recycle 100% of the plastic of our surfboards, in order to directly reuse this recycled plastic to build brand new ones!
We use between 1.5kg and 2 kg of recycled plastic to manufacture one surfboard.
A HEXA surfboard costs between €650 and €850, depending on the shape.
You only pay 50% of the price now, and the remaining amount when your own customized surfboard is ready.
