Eduardo and Fernando are the two talented guys behind Monster Surfboards. Born in a small village in Asturias, north of Spain, they started surfing at the age of 13 but only 3 years ago they decided to shape their first surfboard. Like many in Europe, they couldn’t get all the different shapes apart from the "classical" shortboard. Twins, singles, quads, mini-simmons, hulls and classic logs were very hard to find at the local shop and the ones available didn’t look good enough.
Without the opportunity to really see or touch most of those shapes, they started searching for information on the internet and applying some of the concepts in shortboards. “There’s a great difference between them, and the only way to do things right is thinking and discussing a lot, physically making boards, and test them. Learn and doing it again.” - Says Eduardo
Influenced by names like Harbour, Almond, Rusty, Takayama, Mandala, Junod, just to name a few, their shapes respect the old school tradition but without sacrificing performance. Doing all in house, they searched for inspiration for their glass jobs with Dain Thomas crew at Sea Surfboards. Not an easy task but looks like they’re on the right track.
Monster Surfboards offer a good selection of models from Twins, Quads, Singles, Mini-simmons, guns and Longboards, all nicely finished.
Eduardo and Fernando are a humble and hard working team. All they want to do is to keep experimenting new stuff, improve the designs they already have and learn more so they can grow and make even better surfboards.
In my opinion, these guys are on the right track and have a bright future ahead.
