We've done it. So I was in the Philippines for a study abroad program and I spent the whole year trying to figure this board problem out.FIVEFORTY SURF co. is what we call it I got together few of my friends and we invested a whole lot of money and began shaping in the philippines. All it took was a little research, some consulting from Mystics surfboards in Huntngton Beach, Mat Yerxa in Hawaii, Ehiku, and Hawaiian Longboard Mafia based in Long Beach, California and we got this off the ground. We make two types right now since we are just getting started, using clark blanks which are imported and thus cost a pretty penny but for all you who are looking for custom made boards in the Philippine for less expensive we have begun the process of making out own materials. Its still not perfected but were gettin there. Im in the Philippines right now as a matter of fact for a two week trip to get a bunch of stuff straitened and to get some people trained. Anyone want some pasalubong? grin I just finished a 10' shaped from a clark blank today and Im gonna sell it to the first person who is willing to buy a brand spanking new board in the Philippines. Just email me at ltortuya@ucla.edu. Were also looking to start producing for some local shops. Presently we make board bags and board shorts too. Hit me up, lets do business.
