Mallory Haske surfs nearly every day in the summer，and it really bothers her to see trash in the water or on the beach.So when her English teacher at Salem High School，Virginia，assigned a "passion project"，Haske came up with a creative idea that combined surfing and trash.
   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（給……上臘）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（極其興奮的），" 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 him.Nearly the entire board is made from recycled material and litter.
   First，he made the surfboard's frame.He 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."
