Resumo(s)
O surf é um desporto dependente da natureza e que reúne 3 condições mínimas
para o praticar: o surfista, a sua prancha e as ondas.
Os equipamentos atuais normalmente constroem-se a partir de materiais compósitos
para as pranchas mais profissionais (fibras de vidro reforçadas com resina de
poliester) ou termoplásticos para as pranchas que se utilizam na formação. O descarte
destes equipamentos, em particular dos compósitos, pode até contaminar o
meio aquático, essencial para o bom aproveitamento destes desportistas.
Por este motivo pretendeu-se explorar como os plásticos descartados podem
oferecer aos surfistas um equipamento que satisfaça todas as suas necessidades.
Utilizaram-se plásticos provenientes de fontes como os alunos e docentes da FAUL
para a realização desta investigação.
A realização deste projeto final de mestrado adotou uma metodologia não-intervencionista
de base qualitativa apoiada numa abordagem da relação entre o
design de produto e a preocupação em refletir sobre as questões climáticas. O
trabalho inclui uma componente prática e oficinal considerável, desenvolvida nas
oficinas da FAUL e integrada no laboratório de reciclagem de plástico.
O resultado obtido passou por utilizar a tecnologia Precious Plastic para impulsionar
novas possibilidades de equipamentos de surf através de várias experiências realizadas
e que se consideram pontos de partida para possíveis objetos à escala real.
Surfing is a sport that depends on nature and has three minimum conditions: the surfer, their board and the waves. Current equipment is normally built from composite materials for the more professional boards (glass fibers reinforced with polyester resin) or thermoplastics for the boards used in training. The disposal of this equipment, particularly composites, can even contaminate the aquatic environment, essential for the good use of these athletes. For this reason, the aim was to explore how discarded plastics can offer surfers equipment that meets all their needs. Plastics from sources such as FAUL students and teachers were used to carry out this research. The completion of this final master’s project adopted a non-interventionist, qualitative-based methodology supported by an approach to the relationship between product design and the concern to reflect on climate issues. The work includes a considerable practical and workshop component, developed in the FA workshops and integrated into the plastic recycling laboratory. The result was the use of Precious Plastic technology to promote new possibilities for surf equipment through various experiments that were considered as starting points for possible full-scale objects.
