In this episode of Saltwater High, we will introduce you to Lesley Zonnekein and let you in on a great hack, especially if you are keen on surfing trips or simply stoked about handcrafted artisan surfboards!
Surf Neutral is a platform that lets you connect to shapers wherever they are and wherever you may be—bringing surfers closer to surfboard shapers through the boards made. The brainchild of Lesley’s love for surfing and extensive background in IT gives you access to hard-to-find and unique surfboards crafted by local shapers, aiming to keep the stoke globally on-hand, anytime and anywhere.
Surf Neutral is designed so shapers can use the Surf Neutral blueprint to get a complete shaper profile and digitize and rent out their surfboards with insurance. In addition, Surf Neutral enables surfboard craftsmen to track and keep their portfolios and the history of the boards made online. Surf Neutral introduced a unique QR code for each uploaded board. A scan of the code reveals information about the board, the shaper, the location, and the surfer surfing it. Based on the work done over the years, Surf Neutral is in the process of making a new marketplace in 2022 for shapers and surfers, introducing surfboard NFT sales.
