A giant leap for Philippine surfing... Great work guys!!!

Regards Sir Louie and the rest of fivefortysurfco.com

-=Hope we could have more of Kathy's "cookie in a jar"

Yep, whats up man? Its good to hear from you. Whats the exact date of the Aurora cup this year? I kinda cant wait to get some of Kathy's cookies too. Ill be there on Monday.

louie: you're the dude that i emailed a few months ago about shaping in the philippines!  it pushed through! cool! update us more some time!

Yeah, were going balls out on this one. We've actually been doing research on making foam there for boards but we couldnt really get it to the quality that we wanted so we bought some here in California from Harold Walker (the first guy to sell foam in the 50s when the industry turned from using balsa to foam). We shipped it out a few days ago and it will be there shortly. We really need your guys support to bring the surf industy in the Philippines to the next level. Ill be there on tuesday. Like I said, as soon as we know where we will be shaping we will let you know but it will be somewhere in M-Manila.

yes please do. i study in manila and i would probably drop by to check out stuff.

Hey guys we found a place on Katipunan and were negotiating lease at the moment. Im gonna get bold and offer to repair for free, minor dings on the first five boards of people that respond to this message on this forum. Remember minor dings only.

Louie

Why you shaping in Manila rather than closer to the surf

Rastaman

Hey Louie! I know you said minor dings only, but I got  a newish board that was broken in Siargao. If you're not too busy yet, I'm donating the board to the Pundaquit locals if you can repair it. Good luck with your venture!
