THE
PROJECT
ABOUT US
Created in 2017, the Black Sands SurfBoards project started with the idea of combining new 3D printing technology, advanced composites techniques with a circular economy concept: Boards made from Boards!
With 20+ years of experience in Automotive, Motorsports and Aerospace industry, Miguel Montes Burgos and Ignacio Slocker Mira designed, tested and developed a unique production technology to deliver the lightest high performance surfboards on the market.
THE TEAM
Miguel Montes Burgos
Co-founder

R&D
R&D is a key pillar of Black Sands Surfboards in order to bring innovation to the production process with unique technologies:
- Modular 3D printed Core technology: Adjust and fine tune flex behavior of the board to obtain our signature Anisotropic Flex
- Micro 3D CAD : 99% shape precision and repeatability
- 3D printing + advanced composites: Lightest surfboard on the market, durable and environmental friendly
TESTING
3 STEPS TESTING
STEP1 - Strength and durability
High stress and impact testing via kitesurfing in extreme conditions
STEP2 - Flex, response and ride comfort
Use perfect and repeatable waves at Alaïa wave pool to focus only on board parameters
STEP3 - Real wave conditions
Consolidate board design out in the field
