The move is considered a significant step forward from the petroleum chemicals used in traditional surfboard production.
Describing the creation as "revolutionary", Eden's retail director, Mark Beeley, said: "At last we are able to offer surfers the chance to own one of the most sustainable surfboards in the world, available right here in the UK."
Mr Beeley said 15 per cent - 20 per cent of the foam core was made from plant-derived material and a resin was developed from linseed oil to coat the board.
Today at Fistral Beach, Newquay, surfer Mark "Egor" Harris tested the board, which will be available to try at a number of surf events being organised by Surfers Against Sewage throughout the summer.
