The Magic carpet
THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE
Today I was looking the new MANDALA internet site, enjoying the mix of shaping theories influences that Manuel Caro sculpt in foam. In this video his Arctail Swallow slides effortless in long left waves in Chile. Wide, low rocker, Hull entry, single to spiral vee and quad fins for instant speed. Enjoy the ride!

Why we are still using PU Blanks?
THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE
Some tell me that is tradition, dampening feeling, better flex, easy to shape, cheaper, etc, etc, etc......
But the reality is contradictory, very toxic construction, unrecycle, clear contaminant, short span of flex, , easy dings, short half life, etc, etc, etc... We all love nature and enjoy it, but we have to nurture it and take care of it. Why we are still using PU, all logistic equations are against it. PU US Blanks is a common denominator in the most of the Alternative Surfboard shaping bay photos and videos in our Blogs. Think about this, I already change my mind and my surfboard construction to recycle EPS. Think about mother nature and enjoy the ride!
