Why Localman? A surfboard made locally, one that isn't shipped halfway around the world, has less of an impact on the environment. Use of sustainable materials and method of construction are the other factors involved in producing a greener board. Localman addresses all factors, not just one part of the equation. Our surfboards are made with proven sustainable materials and techniques that minimize their carbon footprint. We will steadily refine this process and will adopt new materials and techniques once they have proven themselves up to our standards of performance and quality. Biofoam and bio-plastic leash plugs are in use now. Ever-improving alternative cloths and resins are available now as options. Who is your Localman?
