Margaux | Deflow


Printemps avec Margaux from DEFLOW on Vimeo.

"The beginning of spring is not always determined by fixed calendar dates. The phenological definition of spring relates to biological indicators, such as the blossoming of a range of plant species and the special smell of soil that has reached the temperature for micro flora to flourish.

For us, surfers and ocean lovers, spring starts when days get longer, winter storms stop and classic longboard sessions come back.

This time, spring began a couple of weeks ago, when we met Margaux for a classic surf in Biarritz."

After peeking the blog of my friend "Chuk" Solis - Diario de un Churfer, I couldn't resist sharing this fabulous documentary about one of the oldest brands of surfboards still in business. Founded in Hermosa Beach, California in 1959 by Bing Copeland. A very interesting Documentary that I hope you enjoy!

Experience Surf Company | Board Lock

William Fleming contacted me a few days ago to make his new project known. A product that I think we all surfers one way or another always wanted.

Who has never surfed and transported the boards in the roof racks of the car, but on the way had to stop and go buy anything. But always with that feeling that when you return to the car the boards will not be there anymore.

To not have this feeling again, William began to think how he could solve this problem!
