Introducing the newest player to the Australian surfboard shaping scene… Polyola! Crafted from 2/3 recycled industrial foam, these new surfboard blanks are a huge improvement on the current high turnover brand new foam blanks . Wild Things Gallery up in Byron Bay have teamed up with Bennet Surf to bring Polyola to Australia and the blanks are currently available via their website. We are excited to see what other innovations this crew can come up with!

Another podcast from the Waterpeople… I think they’re turning into a crowd favourite around here!!! In this episode Lauren and Rasta interview young Ecuadorian/Australian Pacha Lina Luque Light. Having taken a step back from major sponsorships and the performance surfing circuit, Pacha’s insights into rediscovering the inherent joy in surfing and choosing a path led by her values makes for a lovely, warm and deep conversation.
