Bamboo is the most environmentally friendly alternative available today. Its superior performance also makes it an ideal fabric for a life based around surf, skate, and snow.
For us, Bamboo falls in-line with a belief that you can't just be “green” for the sake of being green. If it were that easy we'd all be wearing hemp. We want our customers to expect improved performance and style when making an ecological choice.
Today there are no natural fabrics that are 100% “green.” But when considering how the available natural fibers are cultivated, harvested, produced, and function for the end user - it's clear that bamboo is by far the best solution.

With an eye toward the environment, and patented laminating process, Sector 9 started making boards from 100% bamboo. An ideal raw material, Bamboo can regenerate itself by up to 4 feet a week. Save a tree. Ride a weed!!!
