High-performance surfboards made differently. YUYO combines 3D printing, plastic waste and biocomposite materials to create customizable boards designed for the ocean - and for the surfers who want to protect it.
The ocean is our playground - and protecting it means rethinking the equipment we ride. Traditional surfboards rely heavily on materials that are difficult to recycle and derived from petrochemicals. YUYO takes another path: using 3D printing to build surfboard cores from plastic waste, then laminating them with biocomposite materials. The result is a new approach to board building that puts performance, customization and environmental responsibility on the same wave.
Plastic waste becomes the raw material for a 3D-printed surfboard core, giving existing material a new purpose.
Additive manufacturing allows YUYO to produce boards on demand, reducing unnecessary material use and opening new possibilities in surfboard design.
The printed core is laminated using biocomposite materials to reduce dependence on conventional oil-derived materials.
Sustainability does not mean giving up the ride. YUYO develops boards with performance, speed and responsiveness at the heart of the design.
Digital manufacturing makes it possible to adapt a board to the surfer instead of forcing every surfer onto the same standardized shape.
Natural and recycled materials, reduced waste and local sourcing are all part of YUYO's effort to minimize the environmental impact of board production.
Whether you are looking for a high-performance shortboard, an easy-gliding mid-length or something with a little more character, the YUYO range covers different surfers, waves and styles.
Fast, responsive and made for surfers looking for performance.
A more accessible, versatile shape for smooth surfing and easy wave catching.
A retro-inspired shape for surfers who want flow, speed and a different feeling under their feet.
A versatile alternative for relaxed sessions, smooth lines and a different approach to everyday waves.
More length, more glide and a surf experience built around flowing lines.
A performance-focused shape for surfers who want precision and responsiveness.
YUYO technology goes beyond surfing with a board developed for strapless freestyle kitesurfing.

For YUYO, additive manufacturing is not simply a new way to manufacture a traditional surfboard. It creates a new-generation workshop where digital design, customization and material efficiency come together. Boards can be produced on demand, shapes can be adapted more precisely, and manufacturing can generate less waste.
A board begins as a digitally designed shape that can be adapted to different surfing needs.
The internal structure is produced through additive manufacturing using material made from plastic waste.
The printed structure is laminated with biocomposite materials to create the finished board.
The result is a surfboard designed to combine a more responsible production process with real performance in the water.
YUYO uses additive manufacturing to produce customized boards sustainably and on demand. The approach focuses on several ways to reduce impact:
It is a manufacturing philosophy built around one idea: the future of surfing should be as exciting to make as it is to ride.
YUYO boards have been ridden by professional and accomplished surfers across different disciplines.
A responsive board that goes where the surfer wants it to go - and a performance experience that proved a pleasant surprise.
For Stéphane, technology like YUYO's deserves support because of its potential to improve the environmental impact of boardsports.
PV highlighted the board's speed, rail-to-rail transitions and strong sensations in tubes and carving turns.
A playful board with impressive speed generation in the wave.
A new approach to creating more environmentally responsible boards without abandoning performance - with possibilities that could also contribute to making surfing more accessible.
YUYO's approach to environmentally responsible surfboard design has been featured by specialist surf media and major French outlets, including:
From 3D printing to the use of plastic waste, YUYO is part of a wider conversation about how boardsports can evolve.
