Pens and Hot Chick On Moving Bones
Sometimes I kick myself for coming up with the idea of creating a business manufacturing surfboard bags. Bags are not easy to move around, big and bulky and they barely fit in most boxes. Getting them into the car isn’t all that easy either, that’s why we attempt to drive the bags to shops when [...]

Waiving the Green Flag. Not!
I was at B&N this week browsing through the surf mag section, looking at pics and advertisements. Everyone keeps telling me, you got to run some ads in the mags, get more exposure, get Wave Tribe’s name out there. Three + years since I started Wave Tribe and I am still resisting it. The fact is I am not really into the surf industry. Yea, I own a surf company but I never wanted to be part of the industry. Contests, egos, corporate marketing strategies, thousands of dollars spent on one-page advertisements of some beautiful woman’s ass. Don’t get me wrong, I love looking at the female figure, but I never did buy a pair of reef sandals. Yet sex sells, so they say. Sometimes I wonder, can Wave Tribe survive without playing by the industry rules?

After watching this short documentary. you’ll realize that hemp prohibition has much more to do with economic interests than some fear of losing a nation [...]

In ancient times, tribes used to gather every so often for seasonal festivals or for trade and barter. Bringing together all walks of life, from all over the country…..and even the world. The same is happening on the California Coast. From Santa Cruz to San Diego, Surf Clubs are gathering in large numbers at local beaches to compete with each other, [...]
We all know how we should replace oil with solar, wind and geothermal power. We know that we should stop using disposable and non biodegradable products, that we should drive less, walk more. carpool, recycle, and donate to Greenpeace. What nobody is telling us though, is that we are being forced to accept, without our [...]

Our friend Felipe is not a shaper in the traditional sense. He is a craftsman, he builds some of the most beautiful hollow-wood surfboards you’ll ever see (Siebert Surfboards). He recently grabbed an old beat-up board and refreshed it into a completely cool new board, and the reason why this is even cooler is because [...]

Ever imagine that you could build your own wood surfboard? Guess what, you can! You don’t have to be a woodworker at all to successfully assemble akit as long as you can use care and take your time. It is true, however, that woodworkers will find some parts of this process second nature. The most [...]

A surfboard that had been hollowed out, packed with bricks of marijuana then glued back together was found by Border Patrol agents Wednesday while patrolling a beach in close proximity to the international border fence in Imperial Beach, California. Word on the street has it that the owner of this green surfboard was not using [...]
Thanks to Mikey in the UK for sending us this pic—EPS blank, balsa epoxied to foam, and laminated with ecoresin. He says he had fun on it but I think that guy has fun on anything he rides. It looks nice, a little fat in the nose but I like the grain in the wood [...]

Wave Tribe Board Bags and Leashes Reviewed What can I say about these products? They’re great. The board bag is made from hemp and recycled plastic. It’s well padded, has a lot of storage pockets, and fits two boards. Being on the road towing your board behind a bike opens your boards up to a [...]
After some research we came across Nikwax water proofing solution, which is environmentally safe and tested it on our bags, I must say that I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised by the results. Most water repellents contain fluorocarbons and we at Wave Tribe could not justify water proofing with those nasty chemicals, fluorocarbon water-repellents contain [...]
