EPOXY/EPS THE SMART DECISION?

THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE

Meet Your Shaper: Fletcher Chouinard from Mollusk Surf Shop on Vimeo.

This is a topic that nobody can answer, pro and cons vary depending your state of mind. My opinion, more durable, longer lively feeling , very light and more cost effective. PU less durable, superb flex, dampening feeling, better weight in offshore winds and bigger waves, early dead feeling, soul tradition. Very personal decision, in sliding feeling is all. In PU or EPS enjoy the ride!

Marc Andreini is one of those shapers that sets appart. His magic comes with Hulls wave sliding machines. This creations based in Simmon's personal theories shows hydrodynamics as a reality. Effortless rides with maximal wave energy in use. CNC machine is unable to reproduce this lines and width distribution, to produce a unique feeling. Only some have the capability of creating this slide. Enjoy the ride!

ADRIANO DE SOUSA, THE FIRST LATINAMERICAN ASP CHAMP?

THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE

This week J-Bay will show its perfection to the top 32 in the battle of surfing supremacy. This year we are fortunate to have a latinoamerican Brasilian surfer as the leader. Adriano De Sousa has been showing that the high performance surfing do not belong to the " Gringos" or the " Aussies". Adriano is making clear that latins have the talent and the "cojones" to rule in this sport. During the Rip Curl Somewhere in Puerto Rico I had the pleassure meet him and speak not portuguese, but clear and fluently spanish with him. This guy is representing us proudly and have an unanimous support from our culture.

This is the year of Adriano, enjoy the ride!
