'Riding the wave of sustainability one board at a time'
We have saved 241 Surfboards from landfill, by turning them into unique pieces of art
How we make it happen!
Creative Kooks is a community-powered movement that gives forgotten surfboards a second chance.
We save broken, unwanted, or old boards from landfill and transform them into colourful works of art—with the help of local legends.
Through hands-on workshops, we combine sustainability, self-expression, and surf culture in the most creative ways possible.
You’ll find us in preschools, vacation care, music festivals, youth programs, and anywhere there’s a chance to paint, play, and protect the planet.
Because at Creative Kooks, we believe:
🌀 Every board has a story.
🎨 Every person has creativity.
♻️ No more Surfboards in Landfill
Our Workshops
This is a free-flowing workshop, perfect for Events, Large corporations and Music festivals, where participants paint on repurposed surfboards, skateboards and fins, Instead of these items ending up in landfill, they get turned into Art.
The 'Paint your skateboard’ workshop best catering for Youth centres and events, encourages participants to be creative on a Skateboard deck with SurfPaint, which they get to keep.
Riding the wave of sustainability
Incursion
A land-based learn to Surf Incursion, which best caters to Schools, Vacation care and Early learning centres, that includes Yoga, Balance work, book reading and painting on old recycled surfboards.
We bring important rules to life through art. We first apply rules to skateboard decks or Surfboards. Then, participants decorate freely around the text.
This collaborative process not only reinforces respect for the rules but also transforms them into something visually engaging, community-driven, and impossible to ignore.

'We thoroughly loved the morning with Creative Kooks. The feedback from the participant's was so incredibly positive. The message about sustainable practice was also great and the children shared this with their families.'
