Materials & Construction
At the heart of our surfboards is a commitment to both performance and sustainability. Over the years we’ve tested a wide range of natural materials, always seeking the ideal balance between strength, weight, flexibility, and durability without compromising environmental responsibility.
When choosing materials, we carefully consider their entire lifecycle:
-
How and where they are produced
-
How they are processed and implemented
-
How we manage excess and waste
-
What happens at the end of the product’s life
Only materials that meet our high standards for performance and sustainability make it into our boards.
What We Use
Core: Locally blown, recyclable EPS foam paired with bendy ply for a flexible and resilient blank
Skin: A combination of Paulownia wood and cork for natural feel and durability
Reinforcements: Layers of hemp and flax, bonded with eco-friendly bio resin for added strength
Finish: Sealed with plant-based oils and coloured using sustainable paints from the Natural Paint Co.
How It’s Made
Our boards are created through a blend of craftsmanship and precision engineering. Each one begins with a machine-cut EPS and bendy ply core, shaped to perform and ready to be built upon.
Laminations are completed under vacuum in a large press with an adaptable rocker bed. This process compresses the natural fibres, increasing strength and ensuring consistent curves and flex.
After pressing, every board is hand-finished to refine the shape and maintain quality. We then seal them with plant-based oils and a hard wax finish that protects the surface and enhances the natural feel of the materials.
The result is a board that is strong, sustainable, and ready to surf without any wax.
