Manos windsurfing stuff....
Music is always great, but when perfect places or conditions permit we really enjoy windsurfing, surfing or
hangin' around with our broddas and sistas... Our history on windsurfing is more recent than our musical scene,
the enviromental and adrenaline experience from the sport is unique and great. Magical places, atmosphere and
freedom is a value known for the majority of windsurfers. There are the bro's sport like kitesurfing, surf.....
We started sailing boats at the age of 5, windsurf we had been into since 1996.
Boardbuilding went into our minds back in 1998, we did almost the same approach to our later projects,
spending as many time as possible studying and discussing every detail on the subject. We made some
great friendships along with boardbuilding and the sport.

Boarbuilding was one of the most difficult and challenging at first, but it went thru very well after the
necessary study and research level was reached. We read a lot of stuff on composite materials construction
and all the details on resin impregnation, fibers, structural behaviour and so. At the end we gained much more
than some new sticks to shread around, but a complete vision and comprehension of how these materials
work forces and tensions, their suitability for high-tech and performance structures, such as sport goods,
automotive aplications, naval, magnetic, aerospace.... the list is huge.
Other important thing gained into this process was some great frienships and contacts locally and abroad.
When it comes to build something out of nothing, just knowledge acquired after long readings and discussions,
the simply act of sawing templates, routering cavities, must be well thought before any tool is plugged
into the outlet.
