BELMAR, NJ (WCBS 880) - These days, it seems you can recycle just about anything.

In this case, it’s a story of turning of turning wipeouts into liquid assets, and helping the environment at the same time.

LISTEN: WCBS 880′s Sean Adams reports

“I recycle surfboards,” Jim Witkowski told WCBS 880 reporter Sean Adams.

When the swell is big, you will find Witkowski combing the Jersey Shore in search of wipeout waste.

Witkowski says, “[Surfers] throw it right in the garbage. Usually, it’s right in one of these garbage cans at the beach.”

Instead of all of that polyurethane and fiberglass going to a landfill, it heads to Witkowski’s work bench in Belmar, where he re-fashions the board.

Witkowski says, “We really want to get a board that’s been old and browned, kind of dilapidated, ready to be snapped – and just grab it from the surfer that way and give him some money for it and, you know, make it a new board for someone else.”

Casimier Surfboards (named because Jim’s middle name is Casimier) is just a hobby, he says, but who knows? A business could blossom.

Where there are big waves, there will always be broken boards.
