Win a custom-built board from Laminations worth £500
Fancy making a splash with a brand-new board this summer? Then you’ll be wanting to get your hands on a custom-built Empire Diablo from Cornwall-based surfboard craftsmen Laminations
From their workshop in St Agnes, the Laminations team has been supplying boards by brands including Beachbeat, Nat Young, Cord and Bob Cooper to customers and shops throughout Europe for over 10 years.
The Diablo is a short, wide fish-style quad that is more manoeuvrable and drivey than a standard keel-fin fish. The wide diamond tail shortens the rail line and works together with the vee, bringing the board quickly onto its rail and allowing a tighter turning arc. This board carries a lot of its width between your feet giving excellent planning, and the custom quad fins convert that speed into powerful driving turns. With its high speed and easy turning the Diablo is equally at home carving up pockety beach breaks or racing long-walling points. Every Empire board is built from the finest materials by the country’s top craftsmen.
How to enter To be in with a chance of winning just answer the following simple question:
In which Cornish town does Laminations have its workshop?
