Ventana Surfboards & Supplies | Ventana Save-A-Surf Box

This is a unique reclaimed wood wax box and tool kit from Ventana will help the surfer in your life save their surf session when they’re out in the wild and keep their car clean from the melted surf wax monster! 

Ventana Save-A-Surf Box

With a bar of Ventana Cold or Warm Water XXL wax with surf-related fortune, five integrated fin screws, an Allen wrench secured with tiny magnets, a leash cord, a wax comb and scraper lid, a recycled guitar pick, a ruler, and a stainless-steel ring bottle opener, this all-in-one wax box is perfect for saving your session and opening a beer after you surf. Position the Allen wrench in the groove using the angle guide on the back of the box, turn the compass rose to the north and use it as a sundial to tell time in direct sunlight. If you know the time, position the shadow on that hour and it becomes a compass! The box itself is made from some of the same reclaimed woods we use in our hollow wooden surfboards.

This is a usable piece of art designed and produced by master artisan and wooden surfboard builder, Martijn Stiphout in Santa Cruz, California. They are laser cut to exact specifications, hand oiled, and assembled by Ventana. Customize it with a personalized message and a sundial calibrated to any location in the world! Free U.S. Shipping.

By collecting, cleaning, and cutting each billboard down we're able to turn something old into something new, and more importantly, something you can carry daily with confidence. The Sierra Cooler Bag is a terrific example of their upcycling ethos. Each Sierra cooler is unique and has extra room for all the snacks your crew can handle and with leakproof protection for up to forty cans.
Forgot the bottle opener? The Sierra has one built in, plus a removable interior, and wide mesh pocket.
