Are you wanting to try out paddle boarding or purchase your own paddle board but you don’t have the money to spend on a brand-new paddle board? You can just make your own. That’s what a couple from Brazil did when they decided to not purchase a paddle board but instead make their own. And yes, it works, it works very well. They even made their own paddle. So what materials did they use? And how much did it cost? It was completely free because it was made out of old plastic bottles that they had collected.
Not only are they not hurting their bank account they are also helping the environment by reusing all of their materials. They had collected over ninety soda liter bottles to use for their paddle board. They cut some of the liter bottles and attached them together by using Gorilla glue which was actually given to them from people who wanted to donate the glue or else that would have been a very expensive part in making the board. They also collected plastic pipes to help with the structure of the paddle board. They also reused a foam padding to use as a platform for the paddle board. It also helps their feet grip to the board better.
Not only is this a cheaper alternative to purchasing a regular paddle board. It has brought awareness to a very important cause and that cause is stop from plastic materials from entering into the ocean. We must preserve the habitat of aquatic animals and this is just one of the many great ways we can stop the dumping of thousands of plastic bottles. By finding inexpensive and ingenious ways to reuse the used plastic materials which would otherwise pose as a danger to all of the sea animals that live in the oceans.
