The Science Project Dos

Robert August, Dick Brewer & other great names of this beautiful sport did the same thing --- to make one's own surfboard.

Three months ago we decided to do our own not-so-little "Science Project" wherein we set out to make boards by ourselves. We carefully shaped, designed & finished 12 (yes, you read it right - 12!) surfboards while donning our green worker suits & face masks. As we tested these boards against the waves of Lanuza, Surigao del Sur, they (unfortunately) did not perform as we expected. Saddened but not disheartened, our team went back home with new ideas, new solutions & new friends.

And now, just like soul sufers who get back to the line-up after an awful wipeout, we're in the lab again & making another experiment --- The Science Project 2. So far, we shaped 3 decent 8 feet minimals (Malibux Mix) & cannot wait to try them out when the surf's ready this November. We can't wait to show them off to you guys too!

Also, we are pleased to inform everyone we made our own fin box, courtesy of Niko, which we are psyched about as well.

Respecto

The global surfing revolution which started in the 19th century has been slow to affect our country --- this seems quite odd since we're located right in the Pacific Ocean & boasts excellent surfing spots that can rival any. But sad to say, the Philippines is way behind this revolution of fun & freedom, of carefree-ness & soul.

There's a long way to go for all of us & our surf culture here but we, dubbed as the third world shredders, are trying.

We try our best to live it up here, to accept what we have been given & to learn from those who have knowledge. We try to listen to the masters, absorb what is good & then, get inspired. We respect all just as long as we're given the same respect. 

This video is a tribute to everyone who has been with us since we started shredding in 2005: thank you for surfing with us.
