Foreign brands are getting stronger in the brazilian market, even though the boards are produced by brazilians shapers and sold for a very expensive price in the stores.
The point is that, if some brazilians shapers had expectations of bigger profits by producing foreign brands, most of them have to face a great challenge: how to match in a competition with world’s best shapers in your own country?.

Henry Lelot, shaper from Rio de Janeiro, considered as one of the most influent shapers in the history of brazilian surf, working only with quality supplies is not enough. “In such a competitive market, experience makes the difference, but it’s also fundamental to invest in technoligy and marketing. It’s a great challenge for every shaper to find creative solutions in order to increase his share in the market”.

That’s why Lelot, in his quest to come out with a top quality board, created the GOLD 10.0, a board like no other in the world. It’s built with exclusive CDS systems, which reaches the best standard ever in customisations, shape proportions and size precision. Its confection also relies on the Surfboard ID, which grants the board’s authenticity and quality, as well as Shape 3D, world’s best AutoCAD design software for boards. With it’s 100% hand Shaped system, the board is totally made by Lelot’s hands, without using CNC cutting devices and without any help from back-shapers.

Gold 10.0 also offers a two-years full guaranty, free repairs, substitution in case it would be broken or stolen and the official label from Brazilian Shaper’s Society. It’s also made with the EPS-Epoxy technology, which turns the bord lighter and more resistant and more sustainable. The Kevlar reinforced deck is made with the same material used for bulletproof jackets. The Power-Stringer system grants a better resistance and impulsion, specially as facing stronger deeper waves. As well as the Tri-Quad system, which gives the board more versatility, so that it may be used as tri-fin or Quad (four fins), according with the sea conditions.

Your Gold 10.0 can also be boosted whith Lelots’s latest invention: the Turbo Channel. It increases by 30 % the implusion and the bord’s speed. This system allows surfers to perform stronger tricks / moves,   more water rejections, higher jumps, with a bigger amplitude, among other advantages, with no collateral effects.
Lelot guaranties that this great board is delivered fully-equiped, with cover,  leash, two sets of fins, a scraper, o stock of paraffin and also allows the surfer to ask a customized painting. “To make the party even better, our clients get as present an exclusive X-Games watch (By Orient), 10 meters waterproof, ideal for surfing, swimming, or diving”, grants the bord scientist.
