NOTRE ENGAGEMENT
BERT A COMMENCÉ À SHAPER IL Y A PLUS DE 30 ANS.
AU COURS DE CES ANNÉES, IL A FAIT BEAUCOUP DE PLANCHES, APPRIS, DÉVELOPPÉ UN SAVOIR-FAIRE
INVENTÉ QUELQUES TRUCS COOL, TESTÉ DE NOUVELLES TECHNOLOGIES,
LANCÉ UNE DES PLUS GRANDES MARQUES DE SURF DU MONDE, ET A EU LA CHANCE DE BEAUCOUP SURFER.
À force de fabriquer et vendre des planches pour des GENS variés,
avec des NIVEAUX très différents, qui prendront des milliers de VAGUES, toutes différentes, aux 4 coins du monde,
il est devenu clair que cela signifiait qu’il fallait que cela s’accompagne d’une sorte de PROMESSE.
C'EST ÇA
- la BONNE PLANCHE pour
- la BONNE VAGUE pour
- le BON CLIENT
De cet engagement simple découlent beaucoup de choses que nous faisons différemment à SUNOVA.
Et si ça a l'air plutôt sympathique et facile, c’est, en réalité, un engagement dur à tenir, qui demande beaucoup de temps et d’efforts pour pouvoir être garanti.
Qu’est on est en droit d’attendre quand on achète un produit SUNOVA?
LA BONNE PLANCHE
Cela signifie que vous aurez la meilleure planche possible pour les conditions rencontrées.
si vous ne trouvez pas votre bonheur, contactez-nous et nous la ferons juste pour vous.
LA BONNE PLANCHE
Il ne faut pas oublier que chaque vague est différente des autres, et que, comme un club de golf
peut très bien être parfait pour une situation donnée puis se montrer décevant à un autre moment.
Puisque nos planches sont faites pour durer, on se constitue progressivement un quiver.
LE BON CLIENT
Nous sommes personnellement à l’écoute de chacun de nos clients.
Cela a l’air fou à l’époque actuelle mais cela fait parti de notre engagement.
Nous allons apprendre à vous connaître, dans notre gamme nous avons certainement la planche pour vous
mais si ce n'était pas le cas, nous vous fabriquerions un custom parfaitement adapté.
NOTRE TECHNOLOGIE
BERT BURGER A INVENTÉ LA TECHNOLOGIE BALSA FLEX
AVEC RAILS PARABOLIQUES, QUAND
IL S'EST RETROUVÉ FACE À UN PROBLÈME MAJEUR À RÉSOUDRE
Les planches de surf standard en PU étaient (sont) jetables.
Une planche ne lui durait pas plus de 3 mois, qu'il l'ait achetée ou fabriquée lui-même.
Bien sûr, il y avait des constructions plus solides.
Mais dès qu'on touche à la question de la longévité des planches apparaissent deux problèmes:
elles sont lourdes
- ou -
elles perdent de leur magie.
- LA PERFORMANCE "MAGIQUE" EST LA PRIORITÉ N ° 1
- LA DURABILITÉ EST ESSENTIELLE
- LES PLANCHES DOIVENT ÊTRE ULTRA LÉGÈRES

SHAPER OF THE YEAR:
BERT BURGER AND THE RISE OF THE FIREWIRE
JANUARY 23, 2007 BY SURFING MAGAZINE
It’s a funny thing, really. Paranoia’s practically a way of life out there in Surfboardland. A lot of it is fed by the fearful idea of these Giant Companies coming to Rape Surfing. You know, these big-ass money machine corporations, from Asia or some such place, that’re gonna come roaring into town, selling popout kookmobiles left and right and undermining the brave little guy in his nice little factory, who only wants to maintain the Sacred Heritage of boardmaking. Or whatever. Read more at http://www.surfer.com/surfing-...

Kelly Margetts lives in the ocean. The famously laid-back Aussie has spent most of his life on the sun-drenched surf mecca of Queensland's Gold Coast, where he works as a professional lifeguard and where he began stand up paddling over a decade ago (before the sport even existed in Australia).
After pioneering the sport at home, Kelly hit the international stage in 2010 by finishing top 10 at the uber-prestigious Battle of the Paddle in California. Over the next five years, the 'Bronzed Aussie' continued to be a fixture at the biggest races in the world, regularly beating guys half his age thanks to a superior knowledge of the ocean and dedication to training.
Kelly's race highlights include a 4th place at the 2013 BOP Elite Race, one of the biggest races of all time, as well as an epic victory at the Gorge Paddle Challenge in 2015 where he out-paddled the likes of Danny Ching, Travis Grant, Connor Baxter and Kai Lenny.
Kelly follows a serious training regimen and helps coach the next generation of stars at home on the Gold Coast, while his gifted mind for racing strategy and a keen knowledge of the surf has allowed him to stay on top of the sport despite having already celebrated his 44th birthday.
The humble Aussie is currently ranked top 20 in the world on the SUP Racer World Rankings, and loves nothing more than to pass his knowledge and stoke for the sport on to others. He doesn't mind a beer or two, either...
