Picture this: beautiful waves, salty spray… and a surfboard that doesn’t feel guilty to own. That’s the kind of dream ECObyRy is riding for. Founded by Ry Harris, this is more than just boards—it’s a vibe, a movement, a statement that riding the ocean doesn’t need to trash the planet.
What is ECObyRy, Anyway?
ECObyRy = “Earth Conscious Objects” with surfboards at the heart. They make boards, lifestyle goods, and push “zero waste” ideas.
They’re all about using sustainable materials and practices—from workshops to product design.
There’s also a mission side: fundraising via sustainable goods, ambassadors, community programs, climate challenges, etc. It’s not just “sell boards,” it’s “build culture.” ECObyRy
What You’ll Find in Their Quiver
These aren’t your generic boards. ECObyRy offers a varied lineup of surfboards plus extras:
2022 Quiver: Various board models (longboards, mid-ranges, etc.) with surf shapes for different styles.
Used & Inventory: Options to buy pre-owned / existing stock—less waste, more value.
Workshops: Hands-on stuff. You can learn, build, see how the magic happens.
Clothing & Lifestyle: They also have a clothing line, sustainable goods, and eco-friendly accessories. Earth-minded merch that supports the ethos.
Zero Waste + Community
This is where ECObyRy feels more like a surf family than a business:
Zero Waste Initiative: They aim to reduce waste in board building, use upcycled waste, etc.
The ECOSS: A project / symbol (objects like wax combs made from board-production waste + plastic from ocean-bound sources).
Ambassadors / #pickitupchallenge: Community engagement is real—they’re encouraging people to care for beaches, surf spots, pick up trash, etc.
Why ECObyRy Matters in the Startup + Surf World
They’re proof you can have both: surf performance and environmental conscience. You don’t need to sacrifice ride quality to ride ethically.
Their model is layered: product + education + activism. That helps create a deeper connection with surfers who care.
They’re doing more than making gear; they’re building awareness. When you buy an ECObyRy board or join their programs, you’re contributing to something bigger.
The Feel & the Future
If you ride an ECObyRy board, imagine the feel: board shaped with soul, materials chosen consciously, and a story behind everything. And if you’re into surf culture, this is one of those startups to follow—not just as a consumer, but as someone who wants to see how surfing can evolve.
Expect more boards, more sustainable tech, maybe more ways for locals & surfers everywhere to get involved. More workshops. More “green gear” rising up.
