Element Carbon Fiber and Helium Skateboard by Max Gold

Element Skateboards furthers the evolution of the skateboard deck with their new Push Construction Positive Negative Series.

The Push Deck is a skateboarding paradox. Lighter than any other deck, it's also more durable.

This innovative structure is a result of the combination of the responsiveness and power of carbon fiber with the durability of Element's own featherlight helium construction (i.e. there's air inside). The upshot is a deck that sets a new standard for high-impact skateboarders. Bloggers have even gone as far as to call it "indestructible."

The designs, the "Darrell", the "Muska", and the "Tave," are the first three to be released in the Positive Negative series. We're fans for the way the brand is reinventing skateboard construction while staying true to eco-friendly values. The wood is a result of responsible foresting; only selectively harvested trees are used in these decks.

The premium deck runs $79 and there are still a few designs in stock on Element's site.

They hadn't been added to the website last time we checked, but you can email Establishment directly: info...
Dopie Sandals
Here's something to brighten up your feet as you move towards summer. This strange-looking colorful footwear looks like the born-again sole of a Nike Air Rift sneaker. In fact, the Dopie sandal is a collaboration between industrial designer Matthew Harrison and the eco-friendly shoe company Terra Plana. Developed over two years, the Dopie is the result of the search for a "sandal in a...
EcoForms
Though East Coasters are currently experiencing a strangely warm winter, we're already fantasizing about spring planting. For an eco-friendly alternative to plastic with a no-frills look, EcoForms are made from compressed grain husks with natural, water-soluble binding agents. No pollutants are used in the manufacturing process, all byproducts are recycled and at the end of their five-year lifespan, EcoForms will biodegrade completely. Made to...
Suck UK Sun Jar
I'll admit that Suck UK can be a little bit hit and miss with its creations, but I think the Sun Jar is spot on. Using a solar cell, battery and LEDs, it effectively collects sunlight during the day so you can use it at night. Simple and effective, with the bonus of being eco-friendly, the Sun Jar costs around £20....
