Surfboards are generally produced by small workshop, and Entropy's are no exception. The surfboard shapers, as they are called, much outfit their shops and learn new manufacturing techniques. But these alternative processesbbenefit the shapers because the toxins and fumes are greatly reduced, creating fewer health hazards for workers. Building boards with environmentally sustainable materials and processes is fine, but the boards have to perform. Surfers must be convinced that these boards can stand up to the stresses of monster waves. Entropy promises that its boards meet the highest standards. They are lightweight and durable, and each model matches features in its traditional counterparts. The pocket Rocket is highly maneuverable, offering easy paddling and wave catching. The Kampachi has a raised deck for paddling power and narrow rails for quick turns. Finally comes the important issues of price. Of necessity, the new technologies are cost competitive otherwise, the boards won't sell. Now that the manufacture of their bio-boards is under way, Rey and Desi are looking further into the future. What happens to boards that have outlived their useful life? The brothers are researching ways to reuse worn out boards in their ecosystem of production so that the material can be recycle into the next generation of boards. Although they have not quite solved that problem yet, the Banataos are confident that surfboard recycling represent the wave of the future. "Whether it's innovative products in shape, materials, or construction, we've got to keep progressing.
