Crowdfunding needed! Help make these Marine Recycled Handplanes a reality…
Odyssey Innovation needs your help to manufacture their Marine Recycled Handplanes.
Plastic is found on every waterbody and at the greatest depths of our oceans. Odyssey Innovation view this as a resource, supporting communities to help clean our oceans and recycle. Their latest enterprise is recycled marine Handplanes, allowing you to enjoy the ocean whilst helping to protect it.
Odyssey Innovation was founded by Rob Thompson, a marine conservationist who has spent the past five years working with communities to recover and recycle Marine Plastic. Believing that the root cause of the problem is our wasteful culture and lack of resourcefulness, Rob’s first product was marine recycled kayaks which are used to recover marine plastic.
Odyssey Innovation are pioneering the circular economy, working on the principle that by making marine products which can be used for enjoyment, we can capture people’s imagination and change our views of marine plastic from waste to resource.
In order to make the Handplane Rob began consulting with surfers to find out the best design for them. The idea was to develop a Handplane that could be used by beginners and experienced surfers alike. Once settled on a design, they created 3D printed prototypes which were thoroughly tested to ensure they performed as hoped. Lots of fun was had during this stage resulting in a Handplane designed by surfers for surfers.
The next stage is to scale up to manufacturing. Being true to their ethos the body will be made in the UK from recycled marine plastic, the wrist strap padding from recycled wetsuits and webbing from seat belts and recycled life jackets, from the RNLI. By doing this they utilise materials which otherwise at best would have ended up in landfill or being burnt.
Help Odyssey Innovation to pioneer this world’s first, empowering the surfing community to become more sustainable and protect our oceans for future generations.

The DYNAMICNORD RB-10 rock boot has been specially developed for professional use. It is made of highly resistant materials and features innovative technologies. As a result, the boot sets new standards for demanding professionals who expect the highest quality and performance.
The rock boot boasts an innovative drainage system that ensures unrivalled comfort. After just ten steps ashore, the rock boot is completely free of water. The diving boot has an extra wide opening, which allows you to put it on and take it off effortlessly.
The highly resistant materials of the RB-10 rock boot offer a perfect combination of robustness and flexibility. The high-tech upper material does not absorb water and therefore dries extremely quickly.
The rock boot’s unique lacing system, including the lacing elements, ensures that you won’t experience any uncomfortable pressure points on your foot when wearing your fins. The laces themselves are made of a heavy-duty technical mesh that ensures that they won’t come undone even when wet. The shoelaces can be completely stowed away in the rock boot’s well thought-out shoelace pocket for maximum safety.
Thanks to the special lacing, you can also achieve optimum volume adjustment within the boot, which makes it ideal for various drysuits or neoprene socks.
Particularly noteworthy is the sole system with the Vibram sole, which is highly puncture-resistant. The honeycomb design imitates the natural movement of barefoot running and offers an unrivalled running sensation. The rock boot’s wide, deep zigzag tread guarantees optimum grip, while the rubber toe cap effectively protects the material from abrasion. In combination with the boot’s structural insole, this ensures that you won’t feel any unevenness even on rocky terrain.
The diving boot’s ergonomic insole offers additional comfort thanks to its innovative cushioning.
The RB-10 rock boot was developed for a temperature range of -5°C to +30°C and offers outstanding performance in both cold and warm climates.
Tested by specialists, made by experts.
Designed and engineered in Germany. Made in Europe.
