As nouns the difference between surfboard and stringer is that surfboard is a shaped waterproof plank, usually made of wood or foam and reinforced plastic, used to surf on waves while stringer is someone who threads something; one who makes or provides strings, especially for bows. As a verb surfboard is to use a surfboard; to surf.
Algae floats on water. Surfboards float on water. Therefore surfboards are made of algae. Obviously thatâs not always the case, but it is with the board you see here. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego recently teamed up with local surf suppliers to produce the worldâs first surfboard made from algae. UC professor and algae genetics researcher Steve Mayfield, himself an avid surfer for more than four decades, was all too happy to head up the project. For years, Mayfield has worked at creating algae-based biofuels at UCSD with the help of undergrad biology students.
