Now you can travel to the beach with your precious surfboard without worrying about damage. The next generation of surf pads by THULE, The Swell can be mounted on both the wing bar and the square bar. It’s easy to mount and is made from 100% recyclable material. Now you can ride that perfect wave “ The Swell” without worries.
Ted Mint 2014 was held at Varnamo, Sweden in collaboration with the city of Varnamo, Campus Varnamo and KTH Royal Institute Of Technology, Sweden. The workshop brought together students from different countries and professionalbackgrounds to work together and collaborate.
Currently there are two seperate products for the square and the wing bar. In order to mount thepad the entire bar is required tobe removed from the roof. The Swell primarily aims to deal with these two issues.
