Leva-te o Surf: The Innovative Surfboard Transport Box

A Pioneering Solution for Safe and Convenient Surfboard Shipping

Surfboards are delicate and unique products, each tailored to a surfer's style and preferences. However, transporting these prized possessions can be a challenge. Ana Lisa Luças - Can Design has revolutionized surfboard shipping with their innovative creation, Leva-te o Surf.

Leva-te o Surf is a surfboard transport box designed to adapt to different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses of surfboards. This pioneering service, currently available only in Portugal, offers surfers a convenient and secure way to ship their boards.

The inspiration for Leva-te o Surf came from Ana Lisa Luças' own experience as a surfer and surfboard artist. She recognized the difficulties of shipping surfboards and the need for a solution that would protect these delicate works of art. Through conversations with fellow surfers, shapers, and surfboard factories, Ana gained valuable insights into the challenges of surfboard transport.

What sets Leva-te o Surf apart is its adaptability. The box features an inside and outside adaptable system that ensures the safe transportation of surfboards. Surfers can easily customize the box to fit their boards by cutting off any excess cardboard. With clear instructions printed on the outside, assembly and shipment become hassle-free.

Leva-te o Surf is made from recycled cardboard, making it an eco-friendly choice. The box is printed with just three colors, reducing production costs without compromising on quality. Its sturdy construction guarantees the protection of the surfboard during transit, while keeping the overall shipping costs competitive.

Since its introduction in 2015, Leva-te o Surf has been a game-changer for surfers in Portugal. It offers a comprehensive solution that combines the convenience of express mail delivery with a specially designed box to ensure the safe arrival of surfboards. While other companies may handle the transportation, Leva-te o Surf provides the added value of a purpose-built box.

The success of Leva-te o Surf has not gone unnoticed. In 2016, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category. This prestigious accolade recognizes the innovative and practical nature of the design, as well as its adherence to professional and industrial standards.

Leva-te o Surf is a testament to Ana Lisa Luças' commitment to addressing the unique needs of surfers. By creating a transport box that combines functionality, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness, she has revolutionized the way surfboards are shipped. With Leva-te o Surf, surfers in Portugal can now enjoy peace of mind knowing that their beloved boards will arrive safely at their destination.
