How surfboards connect us to nature

Here's how the surfboard changed our relationship to water, according to fuseproject founder Yves Béhar. 

Surfboards are more than sports equipment; they are finely tuned objects that let people glide across waves and become one with a natural force. Early boards were heavy and carved from wood, but innovations after World War II made them lighter and more adaptable, changing who could surf and how. Riding a wave feels fleeting—just seconds of speed and flight—but it forges a deep, dynamic relationship with water. Over centuries, surfboard design has become a form of personal expression and environmental attunement.
