You will also see Rasty's works of art: his surfboards are made of Balsa wood, typical of Ecuador, super ecological, timeless and beautiful!

Balsa House surfboards are made of Balsa wood, as the first surfboards in the surf culture were made of wood. This beautiful wood is typical of Ecuador, it grows near the rivers and is at the same time hard, resistant, and strangely light, which allows for making light surfboards much stronger than any other surfboard!

So one of the main advantages of surfing on balsa boards is RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. The good thing about balsa, which makes it more ecological than any other material.
