Pro-Lite's 'Hendo' Discusses Surfboards and Building Surfboard Bags That Last on "The Wire" Podcast.

 

Mike "Hendo" Henderson of Pro-Lite recently sat down with Firewire Surfboards on an episode of their podcast to discuss some of his favorite board models and what goes into the innovation of Pro-Lite board bags.

For those who don't know Hendo, he is a huge human who rips. He often rides a Seaside or Cymatic and when it's really small, a baked potato. He also makes up one third of the internal team at the Pro-Lite headquarters in Ventura, CA.

 Among the numerous topics discussed in the podcast, it is briefly touched upon our desire to make sustainable products that last long and don't end up in landfills. We also currently make a limited surfboard bag (Session Wide Ride Day Bag) that is manufactured with recycled materials, a category we hope to expand in the near future.

We often hear about people who have had their Pro-Lite surf travel bags for over 25 years. It's stories like this that motivate us to stay innovative and continue to deliver long lasting products that aid traveling surfers around the world.
