Ride the Legend: Mark Richards and the Evolution of Shortboards
Ready to ride the legend? Buckle up, because we’re diving into the life of Mark Richards, the Australian surfer who rewrote the rules of the game. This man wasn’t just an athlete; he was a visionary, a rebel, a master of the waves. And if you’re wondering how this ties into Blide, keep your eyes open and your mind ready.
The Rise of a Pioneer: No Half Measures
In 1973, Richards made a daring pact with his father: one year to conquer the waves or face a “real job.” But who needs a “real job” when you can chase the pure, unfiltered truth of the ocean? Richards chose the truth, and the waves responded in style.
Australian Grit: Born to Challenge
1974, North Shore, Hawaii. While others hesitated, Richards charged into the giant waves. Not only did he survive, but he made a statement: courage is the key to unlocking your true potential.

Richards didn’t stop at surfing prowess. He teamed up with legends like Dick Brewer to craft custom boards, revolutionizing surfboard design. Sound familiar? That’s exactly what Blide does for you: handcrafted boards, made by Italian masters, with dedicated consulting and top-quality materials.
