Panda Surfboards & Tanner Surfboards Touch down Europe

If your looking for something functionally different this summer and want your board to be a work of art, then get on a Panda surfboard. The design of these boards and the inspiration Blake takes from everyday life make his work stand out for all the right reasons.

Blake hails from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia and lives for surfing, art, travel and music. He's part of a new generation of shapers that brings new skills and fresh ideas to the world of gliding on water. He thinks outside of the box and pushes the boundaries of craft design. His boards are works of art and what I really like about this guy is that he does all of his own art work, it's another thing that really makes these boards stand out.

Blake spends most of his time in California and Oz. It's not so easy to get his boards over here in Europe. That said, he will be in France in April and will be shaping boards for the lucky few that get in there quick and place an order.

Blake will be joined by another cool cat who goes by the name of Tanner Prairie, who represents for RVCA. This guy has mad smooth skills on a long board and has a line of some beautifully crafted surfboard shapes. His work is pure and true, with a an eye on classic styles and natural curves.

Tanner comes from the shores of Cali, he literally lives and breathes surfing. He's super proud of the life he's formed for himself and his family in Costa Mesa. His inspiration comes from his friends, family, music and his upbringing in a cool part of the world where surf/skate is roots.
