Chris Anderson, graphic design student, is installing 1 000 broken surfboards in the sands of a Sydney beach to inform people of the unsustainable practices in surfboard manufacturing. I’m not sure how breaking a thousand surfboards helps this problem, but the installation looks pretty cool.

Anderson, who comes from a town called Wollongong (which is exactly as fun to say as it looks) hopes the installation will, “generate fresh conversations about the sustainability of high performance surfboards; including their carbon emissions, non-renewable resource consumption and disposal into landfill.”

The boards are in the process of being set up at Garie Beach, which sits in the Royal National Park between southern Sydney and Wollongong.

The installation is being funded by an Australian-themed Kickstarter program called Pozible.
