Flama Mini Simmons

 Sergi  from Flama Surfboards in Barcelona , Spain has just sent me an update on their new factory and one of their new models. The Mini Simmons.

 They use Paulownia to make blanks that have solid rails.

 Here is one rough shaped , ready for fine tuning and sanding.

 Here you can see from the paper template the outline of where the solid rails are so as to know how far into the blank they can take away when shaping the rails.

Flama Surfboards in Spain

I have just been sent a link to Flama Surfboards in Spain by Aitor Veguillas which is very interesting. The guys have been experimenting with Paulownia to build boards that have very little impact on the environment. The boards are unglassed , just oiled. It seems they had a lot of troble getting Paulownia in Spain so they went to China and sourced a shipment themselves back to Spain for their projects.

The guys build a very nice board and cold press the components on a large table.
