|  In the 1600s a Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon observed that wooden stoppers wrapped in oil-soaked rags used to seal his bottles of sparkling wine often popped out, and so he replaced them with the conical pieces of cork to seal his bottles of sparkling wine.
Wave Tribe once again releases the World's First Eco Deck Pad. Most deck pads are made out of non environmentally friendly EVA plastic (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). We first made some recycled EVA pads but they didn't hold up well. They were a bit soft and they didn't quite offer the right consistency. After trying several different alternatives we came across CORK and after making and testing the product we were very pleased with the results and you will be too.
Cork Oaks live about 150 to 250 years. Virgin cork (or 'male' cork) is the first cork cut from generally 25 year old trees. Another 9 to 12 years is required for the second harvest, and a tree can be harvested twelve times in its lifetime. What Cool People Say:
"The pads stick like a fly trap and the tail bump is perfect for doing hard turns."
~ James Riddler, Shop Owner
