Professional surfer Nathan Hedge rides the latest Eden Project eco surfboard – the most sustainable board in the world – on Fistral Beach, Newquay for the Eco Tag Team Contest at the Rip Curl Boardmasters Surf & Music Festival.

The Eden eco board project has been running for four years with the aim of seeing all boards manufactured using sustainable materials and processes.
