Surfboards Made Of Agave!

Be Part of the Change: Agave Surfboards Are the Future of Surfing
PRODUCTION
First & Only Agave Blank Manufaction
The source of our agave blanks comes from a company based in Kenya called Grow Blanks. They are the first & only agave surfboard blank producing company in the world. Grow Blanks is based on one of the world’s largest agave sisal fibre producing farms with exclusive access to a vast amount of raw material. This allows Grow Blanks to produce blanks in quantities that can make a meaningful impact in the surf industry.
Mass Sustainability
Sourcing blanks from one of the world's largest sisal agave farms in Kenya ensures a constant supply of agave blanks for the European market. The quantity and variety growing in Europe cannot produce the same numbers and quality Grow Blanks can supply, making the impact of only using blanks made in Europe miniscule in comparison.

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable Agriculture
Growblanks ensures a sustainable cycle on their agave farm by replanting the number of plants they harvest. The agave stem blooms at the end of the plant's life. The flowerstems are harvested when the plant has reached the end of its life cycle.
Zero Waste Shaping
All Agave Blank offcuts and shaping waste are 100% biodegradable and made entirely of plant fibers. About 50% of a surfboard blank is shaped down during production. Conventional surfboards are made from toxic, non-recyclable materials that produce a significant amount of unnecessary plastic waste. With Agave Surfboards, production leftovers can be burned in the fireplace, given to local farmers, or thrown into your own garden.
More Durable Surfboard
The surfboard itself is much more durable than a traditional foam surfboard. Because of its fiber structure, agave is much stronger than foam. The agave structure consists of many intergrown, air-filled stalks, while foam consists of small beads that can be crumbled by hand. Since the core is 95% of the board, an agave surfboard is 95% biodegradable when snaped.



CONSTRUCTION
Shaping
Agave blanks are the most foam-like plant alternative in the world and can also be processed like conventional foam. The solid wood blank can be CNC-milled or hand planed. Use hard pads when sanding, as the natural fibers vary in density.
Sealing & Lamination
Seal the blank before laminating, as with EPS, to prevent resin absorption. The fiber structure of agave provides more stability than PU bladders, so lamination is primarily required for water resistance. The perfect lamination depends on the density of the blank. Detailed information and tips on processing agave blanks can be found on our website.
