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 />
