Why & how I invented the clean fin surf brush

Why & how I invented the clean fin surf brush

It all started when I was stuck in Portugal during COVID

I was supposed to start surf coaching in April with “Alex surf school” in Peniche , but because of COVID I was stuck at home with zero income

At the time I discovered my unwed spouse was pregnant and started to learn trading on the stock market , to make some cash , but trading stock is not as easy as they make it out to be , so I went back to my surfing roots 

 

Then one day I remembered one of my childhood wind surfing mentors , alon Kaplan

he always had a brush for sand in his car , so I thought , how can I make a brush that is functional for surfers , so I added a fin key and an fcs 2 remover

We tested the product for durability , Itay Takomi , our industrial designer made the brush very strong using two mushroom shaped circles , we pulled out fins 600 times to make sure that the clean fin can handle it

After talking to some major players in the surf industry I was encouraged to add a wax comb and bottle opener for all those who indulge in bottled drinks

Later on I wanted to make the product as useful as possible so I added a coaster and extra leash string in the box , also I made the box to act as piggy bank or a container for whatever you want to put in it

And to wrap it up it was very important to me that the product will be green as can be , so we are making it out of recycled plastic

So i hope you enjoy my product and aloha
