[START UP] [SYD] CTO - Disrupt Surfing

[Gary Elphick]

What to do we do

Disrupt create custom surfboards using 3D renders. Any shape, any colour, any material

 

Continued

Our parents came from a world where their clothes were custom made for them but mass production killed that off. The same goes for sports hardware, as an athlete at any level in any sport, you’re defined by that sport, its says something about you and your personality yet you’re restricted to what you can buy off the shelf.

 

We believe with the right technology we can create 100% customizable sports hardware, starting with surfboards.

 

We use 3D renders to help select the right board for surfer and then let the customize the shape, finish and materials. And that doesn’t have to come at the expense of quality or cost.

 

 

What we are trying to achieve

A world-leading customizable sports platform that allows you to 100% customise your board. Couples this with a recommendation tool to suggest the correct 3D file shape for you, the rest is down to you.
