Power Source Surfboards Ireland.... We Don't do surf forecasts!!

2012-02-04T10:10:00.008Z

Have been surfing around the quiet shores of Bundoran for well over 20 years now, the majority of them was before mobile phones had their grip on us, before magic seaweed, come to think of it before the internet even caught on, all we had to go on was the weather at the end of the news & the good old back page of the irish independant.. How things have changed today, We have the internet littered with forecasts, facebook, phone apps.. you name it, no wonder our spots are getting over crowded, theres no working things out for yourself anymore, its all handed on a plate..local businesses are a major contributor to this, surfshops especially are guilty of inviting people to come surf with the hope of getting some business, problem is these forecasts are updated a few times daily. This is pretty sad to see, freely inviting crowds to come surf, it kind of ruins things for the rest of the local crew who have no commercial interests & now have to surf with hoards of ones travelling to our breaks after being invited by the local surfshop. Maybe im old fashioned maybe over time ive become an old git, but it would be nice to see the back these annoying forecasts, it just aint right.!

The Peak Pumping back in 2001, no-one out.!

POWER SOURCE SURFBOARDS IRELAND... WE DON'T DO SURF FORECASTS!!

Start paying attention to your surfing environment before its too late.

What are they giving back??

Thanks to Corey for this research..

Another photographer, Rory, came around the other day to take a few pics, They all ended up being of Rosy sanding as he was the only one working at the time, i was busy drinking tea! Sanding is a critical job, a board can be ruined in a blink, the shape has to be dialled back in with care & attention, while going down through the different grades of paper. Here at Power Source Surfboards we are firm believers in quality over quantity, so nothing is ever rushed, including the sanding process.

Taking a closer look at your wax..

2011-09-29T10:24:00.001+01:00

As a surfer, it is your responsibility to be aware of your impact on the environment. It is every
surfer’s obligation to protect and care for the place that gives us so much enjoyment. After all, without
a healthy ocean ecosystem, surfing would be nonexistent. Everything from driving in search of waves,
wetsuit production (and disposal), surfboard foam and resins, and even wax, have an impact. Surf
wax is the only product in surfing which is truly disposable, yet is required by every surfer, for every
session. The goal of wax is to displace water, while remaining sticky, and petroleum-based products are
extremely effective at accomplishing those goals.

Traditionally, surf wax has been produced using paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, petroleum
jelly, Vistanex (petroleum-based adhesive), and scents/dyes. Every time you paddle out, a small amount
of wax is released into the marine ecosystem and absorbed by the local species. Although the amount of
wax that falls off of your board may be small, the accumulation of the thousands of surfers does equate
to a significant amount, not to mention the effects of bioaccumulation.

It was only a matter of time before better alternatives became available. Envirosurfer offers
some outstanding surf waxes that are not only petroleum-free, but made of 100% natural, organic,
non-toxic, and biodegradable ingredients. The surfing industry is highly dependent on oil to produce
most mainstream products, and by using a natural surf wax, you are taking a step towards cutting that
umbilical cord. You are also avoiding the environmental damage which results from the slow release of
wax into the ocean. To top it off, you are supporting the responsible wax companies through consumer
sovereignty.

Besides using organic and biodegradable ingredients, here are some specifics on how the
natural wax companies are using responsible sourcing and production methods: Matunas wax is made
from organic products from a small, 25-acre farm in Santa Cruz, CA. Their product is entirely soy-free,
and uses leftover strawberries, raspberries, and jasmine to scent their wax, instead of artificial or oil-
based scents. Matunas, Sticky Bumps (soy), and Famous Green Label are all packaged in recycled paper
and printed with soy ink (Matunas is printed with soy-free, recycled ink). Famous takes it a step further
and donates a portion of every sale to the SIMA Environmental Fund, which works to keep breaks clean
and accessible. All three of these companies are based out of California, which not only means you are
supporting local jobs, but you are minimizing the carbon dioxide used in the transportation of these
items.
Go ahead and give it a try. The ocean has been good to you. It’s time you return the favor.

Its happening in Aus too,.. Another manufacturer shuts his doors.! Are the surf shops getting too greedy?

2011-09-15T08:04:00.004+01:00

After 42 years making surfboards, original Emerald Surfboards founder Steve Griffiths is forced to quit the industry - why?

Blackwidow Surfboards owner Steve Griffiths says Chinese imports are forcing local board makers out of the industry. Picture: Robyne Cuerel.Source: The Sunday Mail (Qld) - Feb 2011.

Sunshine Coast, Qld: Ex-Cronulla surfer, master surfboard craftsman and the original founder of Emerald Surfboards, Steve Griffiths has been forced out the industry he loves.

Cronulla surf icon, Steve Griffiths started shaping surfboards at Gordon & Smith in Taren Point in 1972 and went on to found Emerald Surfboards in Taren Point in 1978. He sold the Emerald business in 1982 and moved to Queensland's Sunshine Coast to manufacture Black Widow custom surfboards.

Here's the story courtesy of the Queensland Sunday Mail: Australia's iconic surfboard makers are giving up after a futile battle against cheap mass-produced Asian imports.

After 42-years in the industry, craftsmen like Steve Griffiths, from the Sunshine Coast, are closing their factory doors. An influx from China and Thailand in the last five years made it hard to etch a living, but the last year has been killer.

Mr Griffiths has posted a "For Lease" sign outside his Warana factory, Black Widow Surfboards, and may try medicine cabinet making. Industry insiders have warned this scenario is being repeated across the country also because of an economic slowdown.

Mr Griffiths said Australia was losing more than just locally made surfboards. "The thing with China and Thailand is there will be no innovation, only copying," said Mr Griffiths.

"All the innovation from guys who shaped boards in their backyards, and made boards better and tried new styles, all that will be gone." Surf shops are making huge profits on imported boards because of the massive mark up.

Mr Griffiths said a Chinese longboard was imported for about $300 and sold for about $1100 - an $800 profit. But the Australia version cost about $1000 to make and retailed between $1200 and $1400 - only a maximum $400 profit.

"The only reason people go to Asia is to make more money. You don't go there for a better product," said Gold Coast materials supplier Darren Burford. "(But) the end user doesn't see the better price. It's the guy selling it that gets more money."

The Munster Skyver.

2011-07-30T19:31:00.005+01:00

After a good few requests, & being inspired by Danes surfing myself, heres our newest model.

"The Munster Skyver", based on a mix of a couple of Dane Reynolds latest boards.

Ive put our own twist on this one & designed this board to suit Irish waves using our own proven rocker curves and bottom shape. This board is already a big hit with a couple of our team riders & after much testing, we can now offer this new model to you.
The Munster Skyver is a high performance shortboard that really compliments todays newschool style of surfing, it features a more relaxed nose rocker with a moderate single concave through the bottom, a wider overall outline & a thruster set-up as standard. Order 3 to 5 inches shorter than your regular shortboard. Get yours on order today....

Prices from €420.00 including FCS fins.

More details to follow....

Real advise from the board room.

2011-07-10T09:22:00.007+01:00

Our boards are lovingly hand made in the traditional way from the best quality polyurethane foam, polyester resin and fibreglass cloth available. This construction method offers the best in the terms of performance & quality. Our surfboards also have a very small carbon footprint compared to most boards you see in the shops as they haven't travelled half way round the world.

Always buy from a reputable company.
From a local shaper, a respected surfer who knows the breaks that
you will be surfing on the board he has especially designed for you, to meet the needs of your environment and match your surfing ability.

Dont ask for advise on forums.
Many customers have been given the wrong advise & been mislead on Irelands various surfing forums, ask a shaper for an expert opinion. All shapers love to talk surfboards & designs.

Cheap / cut price boards
Boards selling for cheap prices, this is usually too good to be true, the only way to make cheap handmade boards is to use blanks that are seconds, inferior cheap fibreglass, cut corners in manufacturing, & the use of child labour. Cheap isn't all its cracked up to be, buy a cheaply manufactured board & you will end up with an inferior surfboard that wont last. Many unhappy customers have been through my doors lately with cheaply made, mass produced boards, visiting me countless times for fin repairs often spending more than the board cost in the first place. These boards are obviously cheaply made for occasional use. They have their place in the market but have no real shaper designing them. Also, be suspicious if it comes with a free board bag & leash. I would recommend a Bic as a starter board as they are built strong & can take any abuse you throw at them.

Know what your board is made from.
Insist on good foam. There is so much low standard foam on the market these days since the demise of Clark with untested flex and strength characteristics. We use only first quality Home blown Blanks, the strongest foam available worldwide & believe it or not after 25years in the shaping game I've tried most. Its also safer for the environment using a foam system that is based on MDI (methylene di-phenyl di-isocyanate) rather than TDI (toluene di-isocyanate). TDI is now classified as toxic and considered carcinogenic in many areas.

Order a board with a bigger stringer.
Most of our boards have unidirectional ply wood stringers. These unidirectional wood stringers spring and flex well & are much
stronger, reducing breakages. We can custom order any stringer combinations.

Insist on a good glass job,
Apart from grommets boards & pro style contest/team boards, 4oz bottoms don't really cut it in our waters, 6oz top & bottom is recommended as minimum.

Also insist on genuine FCS fin systems ,
This is another area where we've tried them all, FCS are the most versatile & strongest out there, just look how many top pro's use them including the likes of Slater / Merrick, & all the big gun shapers.

Bring your old board with you.
When ordering a custom board, this may help in the process of designing something to help your progression.

Educate yourself.. Talk to a shaper today.
Or visit our factory, your welcome to see what we are doing, see the materials we are using, take a tour of the workshop, & see our machine in action. We have been designing surfboards for Irish waves for over 20 years.

Shapers Elbow

2011-04-16T08:33:00.002+01:00

Well here I am 25 years into my shaping career, I've spent 20 of those years shaping & sanding by hand, well over a couple of thousand hand-shapes & hand-sands later my elbow was starting to give up on me. Two days ago i had surgery to remove loose cartilage & trim some bone that had grown, restricting me from straightening my arm properly. Here is the result & what the surgeon removed from the joint. The surgery was a success & i am feeling a lot better than i thought i would at this stage. Unfortunately this does mean im going to have to take things easy for a few weeks, so no shaping or surfing for a while. I will be back on it soon enough though, fitter & stronger than before. We are still open as usual for dings etc & we are still taking custom orders, im hoping to commence shaping by mid May. Thanks to everyone for their support & to Mr Macey for doing a great job with the surgery.

Great Foam, Custom Rockers, Custom Stringers.

2011-01-23T11:26:00.002Z

Custom rockers...Custom stringers, provided for us by Homeblown.

The Homeblown system relies on a computer controlled pouring machine.
Blank manufacturers worldwide still pour the mixed resin into moulds by hand from a bucket. This inevitably leads to wastage, both from residual materials left in the bucket and also from the greater likelihood of variations in each pour, which tend to cause uneven foam quality.
The Homeblown system relies on a computer controlled pouring machine that ensures that foam is delivered precisely in the right amounts to each part of the mould. The result is astonishing consistency in production with minimal wastage of resources and by inference a dramatically reduced rubbish disposal problem which is becoming a major issue in the west.

Love to shape.

2011-01-16T23:46:00.004Z

Back in the shaping bay after a long Xmas break, had a few quality sessions over the holiday that brought me new inspiration as always. Pic taken last week, here’s the first off the blocks …a 9’0″ Freeride Mal for Jeff.

Alternative shapes.

2011-01-16T23:01:00.008Z

The Disc-it, new model for 2011, designed this one for Danny ..5'7" Quad.

This is the Celt, an alternative modern fish also with a quad fin set-up, also a new model for 2011. With a single concave bottom & low entry rocker these little boards fly down the line & enable you to surf parts of the wave that you could only dream about on your modern shortboard.
