Brand Tone

Aspirational, Nostalgic, and Authentic

Brand Values

• •Craftsmanship & Quality
• •Heritage & Legacy
• •Community
• •Sustainability
• •The Feeling of the Ride

Best Practices

• •Use Evocative, Sensory Language: Always choose words that describe a feeling, not just an action. Use terms like "glide," "flow," "carve," "smooth," and "fluid" to connect the experience back to surfing.
• •Tell the "Heritage" Story: In every piece of content, find a way to link the product back to its inspiration be it a specific surfboard shaper, a design era, or the culture of the past. This reinforces the brand's core value of legacy.
• •Emphasize "Handcrafted," Not Just "Handmade": "Handcrafted" implies artistry, skill, and passion, while "handmade" can sometimes just mean "not made by a machine." Use language that highlights the human element and the meticulous skill involved.
• •Focus on the "Why," Not Just the "What": The "what" is a skateboard. The "why" is the feeling of freedom, the connection to surf culture, and the appreciation for quality craftsmanship. Your copy should sell the "why."
• •Maintain a Tone of Reverence and Passion: The brand's voice should always sound like it comes from someone who genuinely loves and respects the history of surfing and skateboarding. Avoid overly corporate or sales-y language. It should feel like a conversation with a passionate craftsman.

Copy Examples

Each board is a tribute to the golden age of surfing, handcrafted to bring the soul of the waves to the street. This isn't just a cruiser; it's a time machine with wheels. #FinlessSkateboards #SurfOnLand #Handcrafted
