A startup spun out of Australia’s Deakin University has leveraged its knowledge in organic chemistry and aerospace engineering to produce the world’s first recycled carbon fiber surfboard, promised to perform just as well as a traditional one.

The winners of this year's Nikon Surf Photo and Video Awards highlight an incredible array of images spanning the entire world. The top prize went to a spectacular shot taken at iconic Western Australian surf spot, The Right.

The winner of Nikon’s annual Surf Photo of the Year has been been awarded to Trent Mitchell for his remarkable image entitled Unbound from a collection he has been working on for over five years. The Australian-based photographic competition celebrates the “best of the best” in surf photography.
