Eye Symmetry Surfboards - BCN TWIN by Max - 5'10" x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 29,5L - BCNTWIN510

| CONCAVES PATTERN

This design has a similar concave to the Pam Pam surfboard. A four concave entry with a little bit more double and a quite bit more V than the Pam Pam. It is everything very subtle but it will offer a more controlled ride.

Pretty low rails, pretty pulled in tail not too fat, two fins, V…

Let's remind you the concaves on the Pam Pam so you can really understand how these are slightly different:

· Bottom concave | This concave is not crazy. It has a very subtle four concave entry that can be really felt with your hands but are barely noticeable to the eye due to the extreme and delicate craftsmanship behind this design.

The four entry concave breaks up the water. In one hand, if you got one single concave, it can stick on turns and stay like that sometimes. On the other hand, a V entry can make the board more loose. So the Pam Pam's design is in between those two. This is something that Max does on most his surfboards designs.

· Single Double Concave | A really subtle single with double concave follow the four entry concave, so this board is gonna be for small waves. Max doesn't one a slow one so we’ve got a single concave that lifts the board above the water and makes it go fast in small waves. Under the front foot, the belly of the board, just transfer pressure if you want speed. Following this action, the board lifts and responses, gives you speed. 

· Double to a bit of V | The back of the board finished with a double concave to a bit of V. Max wants the back of the board really loose. The V is the opposite of a concave, so it makes the board really easy to maneuver and turn.

| Max Stewart, the Artist Behind the Beautiful Complexity of Eye Simmetry Surfboards

31 year-old Australian Max Stewart is the artist, expert glasser, designer and the man behind Eye Symmetry Surfboards.

This young man from Manly, Sydney has been doing surfboards since the young age of 18 years old. Eye Symmetry Surfboards is already 10 years old. The first board for Pukas was build in 2016 and that is when it all started and, as Max says, "we are still dancing!."

When asked about why build surfboards, Max has it very clear. He has always like to build staff with his own hands and was into surfing so, it was natural for him to blend the two things together.

Before building boards he was actually fixing and repairing shoes! Something he loved to do. But as he got tired of it, he really wanted to build surfboards. He started doing a couple of boards in his back yard and soon enough he thought that it was time to start taking this "job" thing seriously. He started and kept knocking on different doors until he had his first big opportunity when he arrived to Hayden Shapes doors in Sydney. He chased down the manage of that and then got the job going from zero to the best in the factory in only three years. That was the moment he decided that he was hitting his head against the roof. It was time to do his own thing and fly solo.

WHY THE LIKING AND EXPERTISE ON EPOXY RESIN?

On Maxes words, "that started because I was bread into it in Hayden Shapes." Around ten years ago, the market was moving into epoxy; that it was when epoxy started to kick. No-one wanted to touch it before that.  For Max is epoxy because he knows it very well; he is used to it and considers it’s better material, more strong, more white, and, the boards last longer.

Even though it is a superior material, it is hard to manufacture and more painful to work with. It’s easy to have problems with glassing so shapers usually prefer to stay away from it. It is a lot of monitoring; needs a lot of patience and a very specific skills to work with it. It is very hard to find people that are willing to be patience and have the specific skill. This is the reason why Max set up his own factory and they do everything in house: The Eye Symmetry Surfboards house.

Max puts his skills, hard work, and intuition into a product that he desires people to enjoy. That’s what keeps driving him.
