Mankindsurf

Preserve what you love. Left the corporate world for a better work life balance and to design+build great products. More to come as we get closer to launch.

We are a start-up that blends our love for surfing, our love for woodworking and design, and our goal to utilize environmentally friendly materials, processes and packaging where ever possible. After working in the corporate world, founder Matt sought to find a better work life balance. He learned a lot in his experience in professional services such as getting things done, collaborating, time man

agement, and delivering quality services to his clients while also helping to develop and mentor the broader team. But he got to a point where he wanted a different experience. One that would allow him to combine his love for woodworking, design, and surfing. The result was the founding of Mankind Surf, Inc. in 2017 with the goal of designing beautiful products for the surfing community. The first product Mankind Surf designed and built were beautifully hand made surf board wall racks. We experimented with a variety of materials which included a mix of different exotic woods as well as reclaimed wood materials. We also looked at different ways that we could make the racks more environmentally friendly where ever possible. The included integrating reclaimed and recycled materials, employing environmentally friendly wood finishing processes, as well as integrating recycled tire rubber padding. We also sought to find ways to make the product packaging as sustainable as well. As a result, our product packaging uses a compost-able cellophane bag for the accompanying hardware. We also utilize our own wood plane shavings as packing materials for shipping. In addition, we also only use 100% recycled cardboard shipping boxes. While we are focused on the surfboard wall racks, we are also performing R&D and prototyping on additional products including:

- Roof rack pads made from 100% recycled materials (in design and development and expected to launch in Spring 2018).
- Surf board travel bags made from recycled materials (in design and development and expected to launch Summer 2018). We are having fun with the design process and can't wait until they launch.
