“We need to change the way people see and consume surfboards. Even high performance surfboards don‘t have to be all white. Knowing that the foam is 100 % recyclable and pushes circular economy makes it the right choice for me.”
Miguel Blanco
“What I like most about my boards made from Polyola is the reactivity and balanced stiffness. They just feel right under my feet! Simply put, the boards give me the fascination I‘m looking for: they are performant and sustainable.”
Vincent Duvignac
“I don‘t want to worry about my boards breaking while surfing, so I always prefer to put extra glass on them, even if they get a little heavier. With the Polyola blanks, I no longer have this problem because the foam is so much stronger – no need of overglassing. So in my case, they perform better than regular PU blanks.”
Boris Roman
