Balsawood is an environmentally sound alternative to toxic foam. Balsa is a renewable resource; it only takes 5 years to mature a balsa wood tree. Our balsa is from Ecuador, the primary exporter of balsa-wood to the aerospace, transportation and boating industries. Foam boards flex. Balsa boards don’t. Because of that our surfboards are more responsive and they offer cleaner and faster rides. Balsa has the highest strength to weight ratio of any wood and has twice the natural bouyancy of foam. Balsa has unmatched strength and is highly shock-absorbent. We are shaping hollow chambered balsawood blanks into the most progressive modern designs available. Balsa surfboards withstand extreme pressure from immensely powerful waves. Many big wave surfers use balsa boards for big wave surfing. Balsa boards are legendary in surf history – plus they’re just FUKN cool.
WE HARVEST OUR BOARDS, THEY POLUTE OUR PLANET.
