“Move from fantasy to reality has consequences: we realize that the world is as we imagine it and not as they dictate us.” Luca Bressan
Imagine a surfboard that is produced out of 100% natural materials. A lot of people had this idea before him but it seems that Luca Bressan made this dream come true. Far away from the ocean but with the dolomites in his backyard he decided to build wooden surfboards. It may seemed crazy in the beginning but after he discovered that this was possible he followed his dream with a lot of energy. Through trial, research and plenty of passion he found a way to produce biodegradable boards without losing the advantages of modern Surfboards. This is Solo Surfboards. Natural Wooden Surfboards, inspired by nature, created and shaped with passion, awareness and love.
Introduction from Luca Bressnan:
My background as a product designer is what makes my boards unique.
In all fields innovators are those who can see things in a different point of view, trying to do things that no one has ever done before.The project has prompted me to live near the waves, moving to Fuerteventura to look for a healthy lifestyle and a job that will give me the time to surf. From the first day I landed, I felt a strong attraction, found waves and variety of spots that allow me to surf all year round.Move from fantasy to reality has consequences: we realize that the world is as we imagine it and not as they dictate us.”
