PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY WILL RIDE THE SAME WAVE

Andy and Jumano’s journey began on the Gold Coast and through their travels they met Dan, the founder of Grow Blanks and Adrian, the European distributor. The four united craft, production and distribution to bring high-performance, sustainable agave blanks to Australian waves.

Eco Surf Supply Australia was born.

Our partner Grow Blanks has been redefining surfboard blanks since 2020 using organically grown agave sourced from one of the world’s largest agave farms in Kenya. By transforming sisal farm waste into renewable, biodegradable blanks, they offer a sustainable alternative to traditional petrochemical based foam blanks while creating skilled jobs and income for the local community. Founded by Daniel Treloar, a lifelong ocean enthusiast and kite surfer, Grow Blanks combines hands-on testing, responsible production and a clear vision to reduce surfing’s environmental footprint.
