The Making of the Carmine Bear 🐻
〜
As you might remember, last February TheBigOlive gave up the ghost in the Portuguese Steamroller Massacre 😱

It was a wonderful replica of the Compressor shaped with 💙 by owner of

We loved so much that board because it is a fabulous multipurpose toy! And, that's why, a few weeks ago we asked from to make a replica of that lovely board again.

She was called The Compressor. She was called TheBigOlive. Now that she's rising from the dead for the second time, we will no longer call her by those names 'cause she'll only answer to the name Carmine Bear.

We came pick her up 10 days ago and since then, we only took her for a ride when waves are calling! Sorry for the rest of our babes, but we're more than thrilled to ride her again 😍

The mysterious road to Praia da Ponta Ruiva 🤫
〜
When we headed down south to the land of gypsies and endless left (yes we are all goofies in the family)

Every year, we're lucky to celebrate aka TheBigBoss birthday in the South! As we can never say it enough, the Alentejo/Algarve is our favorite region in Portugal 🇵🇹

We shared so many great memories during that surf trip! Algarve, see you next year and meanwhile we'll enjoy the big season! Hell yeah, the big waves are coming folks! Put your best wetsuit boots, gloves and hood and let's meet in the water (if you see a guy with only a short wetsuit in a 14°ish water, well that's us 😄)

Wondering what's our personal quiver for that occasion? 🤔

Here we go! We brought our lovely new baby. Yes you guessed it!

By her side, the sublime and unforgettable Jungle Acid shaped with 💙 by aka Robin Kegel
And, to conclude, the wonderful Lotus shaped with 💙 by x

What do you think about these two? 😍
〜
We know.. it's not summer for us anymore but we struggle letting it go ☀️🌊

To keep the summer vibes, there's nothing better than sharing summer toys, right?
And, hopefully, somewhere on the planet you can still enjoy the summer waves!!

With which one would you go? And do you dream of exploring the aussie surf spot too?

Honestly, we're just in love with these two models, and we'd just take both for some party waves in the Aussie hot water 😉

Tell us in the comments which one is your favorite and where you would go (in Australia of course) to try it 😍👇

There is nothing like going on a surf trip mid-September 🌊☀️
〜
A few days ago, our squad went to Sagres, Algarve 🇵🇹

We put every boards in stock on the roof of our unbreakable Freelander and we simply went South! Praia do Tonel, praia do castelejo, praia da Ponta Ruiva, Praia da Arrifana, Praia do Amado, Zavial and so on! We really explored in-depth all South coast.

When not surfing, we were working on our new project! The salty air gave us a lot of ideas and inspiration. Soon, we'll talk to you about it 😉

Above all, we were there to celebrate Oliver's birthday 🎉
Now, we can say that it has become a yearly ritual. Each early September, we ride the waves of the South 🌊

6'0" VELOX - Put your left foot forward man and ride 😎
〜
Is there any reg surfers loving riding asym in the room?
Asymmetrical surfboards is a way to find the harmony between design and function, but also to help up surf with ease. You can't denied that the human body is asymmetrical, so why shouldn't be your boards?

Exploring and trying different things is in shapers' DNA. Their ultime goal is to make it work by trying and incorporating those elements into their boards. Some might not see them like that, but we think that shapers are designers like any others.

That beauty up there really catch our eye 👆
Her shape ain't radical like asym usually do, it's more subtle. In fact, you barely see it until you get a closer look at her in all the details. Aside from the asym outline, what's interesting is how he adapted the rest of the board. The rails, rocker and concaves have to be taken into considerations as well 'cause it helps you turns and to properly fit the shape of the wave.

Moreover, she's got a classical fin set-up with one fin on the toe-side and two on the heel-side combining the twin fin and quad fin sensation in just one board. In short, you'll get only the advantages of both, thus removing or at least avoiding the disadvantages.

Wanna get rid of that awkward backhand feeling? Well, that's the perfect combo 👌

For those new at this, test one (we've got some insane ones in stock 👉 link in bio). And for those used to it, you might want a new one in your quiver. Designed for Hawaii waves by Hawaiian hands 🙌

Right? Left? Sharp? Fast? Powerful? Hollow? Mellow? Yes! Normandy has a lot to offer 😎 🇫🇷
〜
The North of France is all too often ignored. The atmosphere is unreal, and believe it or not but the wave quality is insane! It ain't big all year, but small or big glassy and perfect is what you'll get. Frenchy friends it's time to discover how they surf along the Normandy Coast. Sometime exploring your own territory is quite an adventure..

Wondering how it looks like and where to go? We gotcha 😉 👇
🌊 Pourville sur mer: As always, let's get small to get started. First, that's a magical magical place due the white cliffs, which give a whitish colour to the water. It's a beach break with pretty nice waves (right and left) to enjoy at low tide. ⚠️ Careful of the rocks at high tide.
🌊 Yport: Yes again! The landscape is just unbelievable. Framed by white cliffs, that's the spot where you wanna plan a dawn patrol or a sunset session.. It makes it even more magical. This time, it's a reef break offering a tremendous left (our favorite) where tubing might happen.
Little tips? Wait for the South wind to come, and you'll surf some perfect glassy waves!
🌊 Siouville-Hague: You can't leave Normandy before surfing that spot! It's the most consistent wave spot and it's working almost all year long with some nice mellow waves. On good days, however, you can expect powerful hollow waves up to 2m50 at low tide.
⚠️ Carful of the tidal current! It can be very strong due to the Raz Blanchard close to it (the most powerful tidal current in Europe)
🌊 Wimereux: We always save the best for last. The biggest and most beautiful waves in the North of France. Definitively for advanced / expert surfers. The wave is a short, very fast, hollow and radical tubing over a shallow reef.

Well, you know almost everything about this part of France! So, if you wanna run away from the crowd that's definitively a good spot to hide 😉

Surfing in Peniche? It's paradise in Earth: dozens of surf spots at your fingertips working all year long even when others spots are flattt.

The famous surf spot? (only a few to get started)
🌊 Cantinho: super easy spot to start if you've never been in Portugal before. Let's say that's the appetizer before eating the main course.
🌊 Gigi's: just a perfect spot for longboard lovers. You'll get some nice surf session in small waves and when it gets huge. ⚠️ Careful, there's rocks everywhere under your feet 😉
🌊 Praia d'el rei: powerful waves ahead! When it's flat in others spot around that's your backup option. When it gets heavy, you better buckle up.
🌊 And of course, Supertubos! The massive waves machine, definitively for advanced / expert surfers. If you're looking for radical and extreme surfing, that's your spot!
