Paddle with Purpose: Eco-Friendly Boards Making a Difference

Paddle with Purpose: Eco-Friendly Boards Making a Difference

At Asgard, we believe that adventure should not come at the planet’s expense. Without nature and the beauty it provides paddlers, waters ports would not exist. Our mission is to promote high performance water sports products from suppliers that are actively helping the environment. That’s why we partner with some of the most forward-thinking suppliers in the industry, and why we continue to lead the way in safety and sustainability.

Eco-Friendly Boards and Kayaks for a Cleaner, Greener Future

Two of our suppliers, FatStick and Sandbanks Style are committed to leaving the smallest possible footprint on the environment.

FatStick was the first stand-up paddleboard (SUP) brand to package inflatable boards in paper instead of plastic, significantly reducing single-use plastic waste in the industry. But they didn’t stop there. For every item sold, FatStick also plants a tree via Tree-Nation, helping to reforest the planet one board at a time.

Similarly, Sandbanks Style has gone above and beyond, having already offset nearly 700 tonnes of CO₂ emissions and planted over 34,000 trees - more than one for every board and kayak they've sold. Their boards are designed to last for years, not seasons, reducing waste and keeping broken gear out of landfills. Plus, their new changing robes are made from recycled materials, proving that innovation and eco-responsibility can go hand in hand.

Built to Last: For You and the Planet

Durability isn’t just a feature, it’s a philosophy. Inflatable SUPs and kayaks are incredibly convenient, but many on the market today are designed for short-term use, often ending up in landfills after just a few seasons. That’s why we prioritize partnering with brands like Sandbanks Style, whose boards and kayaks are crafted to last for years, providing you with long-lasting enjoyment while significantly reducing waste. By choosing durable, high-quality inflatables, you’re helping to cut down on disposable gear and protecting our waterways from unnecessary pollution.

Setting the Standard in Safety

In addition to the offsetting of carbon and significant planting of trees, Sandbanks Style were the first brand to supply quick-release waist belts for free with all their boards. It’s a small addition that makes a big difference, especially for paddleboarders in fast-moving water or tidal areas. Because your safety should never be an optional extra.
