She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surfboard in an effort to raise awareness of

ocean pollution.
“It s pretty sick,” said Haske on May 17, standing on the beach at 86th Street waxing her newly

finished trash board. “I really hope it floats. ”
Haske is 18 years old. Surfing is one of her favourite sports. “ The feeling of catching a wave is

euphoric,” she said. “It s such a mental release, and you forget that you have chores or homework to do. ”

Her teacher, Kathleen Trace, assigned the project months ago and was surprised to see how Haske s
enthusiasm about it grew throughout the school year. “Not every student finds her passion, but she did,”
Trace said. “I m super proud of her. ”

Over the winter, Haske collected litter including cigarette butts, bottle caps, fast-food containers and

masks along the resort area beach. Making one out of trash was a first for her. Nearly the entire board is
made from recycled material and litter.

First, she made the surfboard s frame. She used thin pieces of wood. The outside of the board is made
of plastic, and the inside is filled with garbage.

On Tuesday after school, Haske paddled out and attempted to ride a wave on her new board, but the
mostly flat conditions made it difficult. The nose kept going under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat.

“She s pretty heavy up front, but she s going to be my best friend,” Haske said after coming out of the

water. “She s made for good waves. ”
