Slovenia

Slovenia, one of the smallest countries in the world. Just half the size
of Switserland. It's located south of Austria and east of Italy.
It measures 150 x 250 km and 20.275 km2 in area.
For more info about Slovenia check : Wiki

Never been in that country, but think thats gonna change...
Searching for info I came across so many interesting things. It got
mountains ( the real deal ones...), great nature, zillion of caves....




.. a small piece of coast


...good snow




.... and surfboards! Flikka!

(Sure, I knew that already for a longer time, but till now
I never looked further to other boards than the ones in
my garage ;-)

Playing with boards in my head/on paper....., but time is the killer...
There's something they call evolution on it's way.

Knowing the guys at Flikka got all the hi-tech>cnc shape machine (=timesaving+ accurate) but what's even more important... they got all the skills (shaping/building/material knowledge), they know what they do and are passionate.

I decided to contact them..
And from one thing came another.
To be in short: there will a Flikka joint!

Below some rough sketches I put on paper.
Goal: a 2 boards(pure wave) set that do it all and give light ;-))
