The Surf-fur is finally getting it's own blog! Poor fuzzy guy has been out of touch with all those watermen out there who need to get warm and have a place to change in privacy.
We have been developing hard core gear for 7 years now. The intital idea came to us when we were out surfing at Ponto beach on January 15, 2003. It was barely light out and completely freezing. To get our bodies warm, we got into our wetsuits at home, put our bed quilts around us to warm up, and blasted the heat all the way to the beach. When we got into the water, we were actually able to stay out a little longer since we heated up in the quilt. We didn't think about how we were going to get home with our wet wetsuits and cloth carseats!!!
We decided to design a product that would be warm, soft, wind-proof, water-proof (so we could just put it on and go home to a hot shower and not have to worry about our carseats getting wet) and really cool looking. The bed quilts were not too sexy.
We spent about 5 years designing and re-designing our main product, the Surf-fur, and figured out a way to make it in a cost effective manner so that we could sell it to surf shops and dive shops all over the world. We are currently selling our product all over the world. Mom was right, if you work hard enough, you can be aything you want to be!
