MICHELE CAN<br />

EVEN BUILD<br />

A FINISHED<br />

GLASSED AND<br />

WE HAVE BEEN<br />

WORKING ON THIS<br />

SHIPMENT FOR<br />

YEARS. EUROPE<br />

IS AHEAD OF THE<br />

PACK WITH THE<br />

DEVELOPMENT<br />

OF ECO-FRIENDLY<br />

SURFBOARDS.<br />

POLISHED<br />

BOARD THE<br />

WAY IT WAS<br />

BUILT IN THE<br />

'50S.<br />

“This balsa is the best material for your<br />

eco-friendly boards. This will give you<br />

flex, feather feel, and ease of bending and<br />

building your boards. Wait until you try it!<br />

What a difference!<br />

“The stick sizes will vary from 60 mm x 60<br />

mm up to 200 mm x 90 mm in section sizes.<br />

They are graded, so if you are on a budget,<br />

we can supply something that suits you.<br />

“We have lengths ranging from 1m up<br />

to 3.6m, so that means no joins. That<br />

increases the structural strength of a board<br />

by 100%. No joins, no worries!”<br />

Mark said he and Michele were keen for the<br />

European contingent to see how good this<br />

wood is, adding that Michele can cut the<br />

wood to size, build a solid blank, or build a<br />

hollow blank for customers with all goods<br />

able to be shipped throughout Europe.<br />

“Michele can even build a finished glassed<br />

and polished board the way it was built in<br />

the '50s.”<br />
