I am Edu, the founder of Edu Shapes, and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you. A small-town boy, I traded the tranquility of a countryside village for the rhythm of the waves on the coast. Fifteen years ago, I stepped into the world of surfboard manufacturing, not just as a craft but as a passion.

My journey began with the transformation from a novice surfer to a builder and seller of surfboards. Along the way, I had the privilege of collaborating with some of the finest international surfboard shapers, absorbing their expertise and refining my skills. Leading the operations of a surfboard factory, I earned recognition in the market and took on the role of a CEO.

What sets Edu Shapes apart is not just the craftsmanship but the commitment to pushing boundaries. I take pride in being one of the few shapers who rigorously tests their surfboards in diverse conditions. From fine-tuning designs for optimal performance in small waves to pushing the limits in formidable giants like Nazare, I believe in experiencing firsthand what my creations can achieve. 

At Edu Shapes, it’s not just about creating boards; it’s about forging connections and sharing the pure joy of riding the waves. Join me on this exciting adventure, where every wave tells a story, and every board is a masterpiece.

E1 Model in Carbon Construction

E1 Small Wave Board is lighter and faster in sub par conditions when made with the latest Carbon Fibre board technology.

Agave Construction

Agave is the true green construction, since the blank till the green epoxy resin.

WHAT IS AGAVE?
The sisal agave is a plant that can be used to produce sustainable surfboards. Its air-filled fiber stalks are the most foam-like natural material available on the market.

Agave blanks are.. 100% biodegradable. More durable and longer lasting than foam due to the fibre structure.

About performance and feeling in the water I just can suggest best way for all fun surfboards, twins, singles, midlength.. For sure a bit ( around 20% compared with a PU board) but with a great felling in the water and nice performance in this kinds of boards. All the skills for have a nice agave board is on the construction.

Everyone should have a board like this on his quiver.

Glass : 4oZ x 4oZ
