San Diego surf is our life at Solid Surfboards. We proudly design and manufacture our boards in San Diego since 2004. On our journey to build a sustainable surf company, we’ve made a few friends. You could say we’ve also spent a bit of time in the water here. This is the first in a series where we highlight San Diego Surfers and the waves they find around home.
This is Tarcisio Lopes, better known as “T.” T is from Brazil and has been surfing since he was ten years old. He moved to California to be in San Diego. For T, San Diego is the closest he’s felt to home since he came to the US. Tarcisio loves San Diego surf for the perfect waves, perfect weather and great people. He loves surfing because it’s his lifelong passion. But, as an adult, it also gives him balance in his life.
T is a longtime fan of Solid, and recently joined the team, which has been a goal of his since 2014. In this video he takes his new “The Vinny” in 5’10” 27L and “The Go2” 5’8″ 25L and tests them out around town.
