Where in Spain are you guys based out of?
We are from Madrid (yeah! like the bodyboards), and its here we live and work. Madrid is a great city; it has it all except for the beach, that forced us from the beginning to travel a lot to catch some waves. We love to travel so that has never been a problem.
Who is involved with Cortxero Clothing?
Cortxero is composed of three young bodyboarders, Francisco aka Paco, Salvador and me (Adrian). We have been bodyboarding since 1995. In 2003 we decided to create the brand because there wasn’t any spanish clothing brand centred in the sport of bodyboarding.
What spots do you guys surf in Europe?
Our favorite spots are located in the spanish north coast and in the south-west coast of France (Hossegor, Capbreton, Anglet, etc.) But we also have surfed in the south and mediterranean coast of Spain, Canary Islands, Portugal and Ireland.
We have some travels in mind like: Hawaii, Mexico, California and Indo but for the time being we haven’t scheduled any date of departure.
How has your local community responded to your company?
As the first bodyboard clothing brand in Spain, things hasn’t been very easy at the beginning. Surf shops here where quite reticent (in some case still that attitude) to sell this kind of stuff in their shops. Thanks to our loyal costumers that support us day by day and our insistence, the market is beginning to accept us and surf shops are starting to offer bodyboard clothing brands together with bodyboards, wetsuits, fins, etc.
