Blind Dog Surfboards: March 2010

Our Promise To You

My Environmental Promise: I use Forest Stewardship Council certified woods or woods salvaged from downed trees. All boards are glassed with epoxy resin which is cleaner for our environment and emits 50-75% less Volatile Organic Compounds than polyester resin. In my shop I have moderate ventilation and no need for a mask when glassing. Epoxy is lighter and stronger than polyester. My wood boards are nearly indestructible and should last a lifetime. Each board is quality crafted for strength, durability and concern for our environment.

My Satisfaction Promise: Ride your board for 30 days. If you don't like it, return it.

Last Saturday I was invited to Car and Driver radio to talk about future safety technology that Volvo will be using (I work for Volvo). At the end Alan Taylor, C&D host, asked about my hobby of making wooden boards. Thought you would enjoy hearing our discussion.
